I'm not sure about any of this because I'm just going by memory on the number of copies they had before the change, so I'm interested to know if anyone else has noticed the same thing.

I'm a Sony and Kindle owner, been doing EPUB at libraries for a while. I didn't notice any increase in copy count when the Kindle versions arrived. I think what you are seeing is the library buys more copies when holds on a book get over a certain number. I'm not sure how that works, but it definately happens.
