Actually, you wouldn't be taking away anything by using the Kindle to read library books. It is adding to it's appeal. It's not like you have to chose one or the other. You can still use all the original features of your Kindle AND read library books.
And, I believe that most other readers require side loading of library books also. Why is it different on the Kindle?
Additionally, as others have mentioned here, library lending with eBooks is vastly different than with pBooks. The selection is much more limited and waits are often long. It may end up being a much smaller portion of the OP's reading than was originally intended.
