The answer to your question is: Its not. I am quite happy with my Kindle. If one day they get library access...guess what..I will be quite happy with my Kindle. If they choose never to get library access, I am quite happy with my Kindle. Should I decide, one day, that I must have library access on a machine, then I will buy an e-reader that supports it, and still be quite happy with my Kindle. 
Its not much different then buying different console gaming devices (we have 3) in order to have access to different gaming titles. |
Some people do have multiple portable devices just to have library access on the go.
We have multiple library systems here and I belong to three of them. There are two others I want to join when I can. The more libraries I can access, the more eBooks I can borrow.
The only issue I see going on is one of not knowing about the library and Overdrive before buying a Kindle. I've read of a lot of people buying a Kindle and then sometime later finding out about library eBooks and not being able to use them.
But for most people, I do think it is a good idea for libraries to let patrons know what popular portable devices do and do not work with library eBooks. For a long time, there was no library eBook support for iOS based devices.
