To pull together some recent threads:

1. Overdrive and Amazon are working together to make Overdrive library books available to the Kindle. The thought is that Amazon will do the actual ebook fulfillment, with Overdrive providing the frontend.

2. Libraries will no longer have to order specific formats of ebook from Overdrive, just buy N licences, which will entitle them to N copies of the book in any format.

3. Overdrive are providing the infrastructure for Pottermore ebook delivery.

So why would Amazon have to support ePub? All the steps are in place for you to buy an licence from Pottermore and have either ePub or mobi delivered depending on your device, with the mobi being delivered directly by Whispersync as Amazon handle the backend fulfillment for mobi.
