Kindle Keyboard 3G/WiFi (3.2.1 firmware) does both (Overdrive, Gutenberg). It leverages WiFi for content delivery.
Borrowing a library book from the Overdrive site requires two logins; one to Overdrive, and then one to Amazon (for the delivery of the content).
Overdrive sends you to Amazon, which I would suppose is the step most people could not complete, who said it doesn't work.
It does work, but you have to disable JavaScript (in the WebKit browser) for that step to complete correctly.
Otherwise, the WebKit browser will choke, and produce an error dialog that states something about 'multiple windows' that it cannot open.
Disabling JavaScript for that one step is helpful, there.
