What are the libraries paying for when they subscribe to OverDrive?
Is it x simultaneous licensed copies of an ePub file?
Of it is x simultaneous licensed copies of the work, in whatever format?
If the latter, then the libraries see no change, it is just that the OverDrive backend supplies a different file to the end user.
It is probably a reasonable assumption that Amazon already have Kindle version of (nearly?) all the books that are available through OverDrive already.

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