If I am unable to borrow a book I'm interested in, I just move on to something else.

If Amazon supported library borrowing out of the box, I would buy a Kindle in a heartbeat and also buy them for my parents who are voracious readers. They always have books from the library, but would not be interested in anything complicated to be able to read ebooks from the library on a Kindle.

Amazon would make a lot more money from me if they supported library lending.
