I guess I don't understand, in that case, what you mean by the "Kindle app" being a wild card. If you just have a desktop PC and a Kindle reader, then you don't HAVE a "Kindle app"... do you?
But I agree that the "Kindle reader only" people will increase the library user base.
As for the launch day, I predict that wait times will quadruple initially and then eventually tail off as people stop using libraries and go back to buying. The library fanatics are already, imho, using the libraries, and therefore the new influx will be casual users that will tail off over time. That's my Nostradamus prediction.
