Harry's point is just what I was going to say. Perhaps a year from now the typical library's eBook inventory will be in equilibrium with the demand, but for the immediate term I wouldn't place too much emphasis on that need.
Amazon's Customer Service has a terrific reputation, so returning the Kindle should not be a problem, and makes more sense to me than going to the bother of stripping the DRM off library books.
If you decide to return the Kindle, I would look into the Sony 650 and the jetBook Lite, both of which are good with the library. I and many others believe that those two models have better screens than the nook and the others with the old eInk vizplex screen.
