According to my librarian and the library support site
http://www.overdrive.com/resources/d...spx?type=ebook she says the Kindle is not compatible with VIRL's subscription ebook database either. However, this is an issue between Amazon and Canadian publishing, not with the eReader themselves. Publishers in the US have made a deal with Amazon to allow library patrons access. It is possible that the same deal will be reached in Canada one day.
By using Calibre can this reformat library e-books so that I can read them on Kindle?
