Wouldn't be the first time a cease and desist letter was wrongly targeted.
Lawyer sees "DRM" and "Kindle" and "download" in the same Google hit, and they send a letter, right or wrong.
Note, I'm not saying Amazon WANTS library books on the Kindle, I'm just saying this issue doesn't seem to indicate they don't.

Yeah, this isn't really a legal matter. I like Kindles, I like my library and I like books. Makes sense to do what I can to use all three together and help others who wish to do so as well.
