As I've been interested in when this was going live in my area I tried logging into Overdrive last night and was told my account was 'blocked'. I shot off an email asking what that meant, and this morning got a response that I had to go into a local library branch and confirm my address to get the block removed. First thing this morning the Kindle was 'coming soon' per the library and Overdrive (MD) sites.
When I went into the branch to have them confirm my address the librarian said Kindle was 'live'... and had to show me the page as proof. Drove home as fast as I could and now have two books to read on my Kindle and four others on hold.
Not many books actually available at this point (I'm assuming the numbers are statewide and not just county?)... but I don't care. It's a start!
