I know stripping DRM and converting is pretty easy. But a lot of people do not know they can do it. They don't know how to do it. And they don't want to do it. They just want to download, put on the reader and read. So for them, a Kindle is the wrong choice for library ePub.
Think of the majority of older adults. They won't be doing the DRM stripping and converting just to get library eBooks on a Kindle. This is not a Kindle vs Sony debate. I just feel that for most people out there that want access to library eBooks who do not deal with DRM & conversion, the Kindle is not a good fit.
For most of us on MR, it's not an issue. And yes, it is easy and fast enough to do. But we are not like most people who do not strip & convert.
