Look, this discussion is not really about Kindle. And it is not a format war. Kindle is an example. Change it to Nook or Kobo or Sony or PocketBook if you like.

Amazon may have an incentive to get into a market that it has ZERO penetration - the Public Libraries around the world. Kindle does not work without a bit of effort with Overdrive. By their own actions, Amazon has locked itself out.

And frankly, I am not interested in borrowing eReaders from the Public Library. But, the Cartel is forcing either a revolt or capitulation with the Public Library with regards to eBooks.
