It has been said that there will be no cost to the library and it will work with existing books. So I don't see how it can work unless Amazon does the lending.

The same would happen if ADE-based eInk readers were to become suddenly much more successful and displace Amazon, I don't think you would view that as a bad thing!  |
I don't see ADE based eink readers displacing Amazon as a bad thing. But maybe the increased wait at the library may not be so good.
We'll just have to wait and see how this pans out.
