The lending will be available for all generations of the Kindle as well as Kindle reading apps, and it will integrate with all the existing ebook catalogs in the United States powered by OverDrive. In other words, the libraries—including schools, colleges and public libraries—will not have to add a new format, and the ebooks now available on the OverDrive sites will be immediately integrated with the Kindle, Dan Stasiewski, a marketing associate with OverDrive, told LJ.
So how is this going to work? Is the Kindle getting ePub compatibility via ADE? If the Kindle is not getting ePub, then there has to be an on the fly conversion from ePub to AZW. I also don't see Adobe going for this unless it's ADE on the Kindle.

Well, there is one more solution... If you borrow a library eBook, the copy Kindle users get comes from Amazon. That would work.
