Let me clarify more for you then as you're still missing the point. This thread and everyone in it is not talking about getting e-books direct-to-device from just anywhere. This thread is discussing the new announcement that Kindle owners can now borrow books from select public libraries, which as tubemonkey has pointed out, is not currently direct-to-device.

Also, when you get re-directed from the library's site to Amazon, it specifically says that library books cannot be sent to a Kindle via 3G. It has to be either WiFi or side-loaded. Again, all of this is specific for the new announcement for public libraries, so I hope you no longer confuse yourself on this issue.
