I'm the same way, but with Amazon's free samples, some enticingly low prices and the way-too convenient one-touch purchasing and instant delivery, I find my self buying more than I thought I would. Sort of like shopping at a cheap used book store....the sample looks good...99 cents, what the heck....

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.

If you are not interested in buying from Amazon and you want library lending, why consider a Kindle? Why not a nook classic. say?
(I know there are reasons, I'm just curious as to yours.)
