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.
as an international user, i'm not sure if there are much public libraries available to me from around the world, because we don't have community/neighborhood/district libraries here. not really anyway.
