It's not big deal if it does, but I really don't think any software patch is even necessary. Amazon has already moved to a per book PID for it's DRM... and after twiddling the PID key, time-sensitive DRM always
did function on the Kindle. Just have to give Overdrive access to Whispernet and the DRM server. Overdrive library mobi's on Kindles is not a new concept. They're just removing the last remaining hurdle that readers faced when trying to read library mobi's in the past. Plus integrating seamlessly with existing library catalogs. No fiddling necessary--everyone can play.
Everything's already in place, they just have to build a few back-end on-ramps. It's almost as if they planned it this way.
