see if you have a statewide lending agreement (this goes for anyone that is worried about their local libraries)

If the libraries are not supposed to buy new copies of the books and Amazon is providing library books in AZW format and DRM, are they lending out copies from their own servers or are they providing Overdrive with some "on the fly" format/DRM conversion tools?

On the other hand, if libraries start making purchases of new books from Amazon, would they be converted to EPUB/ADEPT for those not on the Kindle bandwagon?
sorry, crystal ball is busted

why don't you take a back seat in the Kindle conversations and let kindle owners explain how Kindles work. since we can go online and access webpages, there is nothing that we need a computer for.
