I think those of you with Kindles have said that the library integration is truly seamless - you just send the book to your Kindle via the library interface, and then Kindle deletes the book when you're done. Is this right?
It's really easy and bypasses Adobe completely:
  • login to your Amazon account
  • login to your library's digital page
  • select a book
  • from Kindle Book, click Add to Cart
  • from My Cart, click Proceed to Checkout
  • from Check Out, select lending period, click Confirm Check Out
  • from Download, click Get for Kindle
  • that opens an Amazon page called: Get Your Public Library Loan
  • select deliver to option, click Get library book
That's it. No Adobe, no wires, no sideloading. The book has been sent to your Kindle and will download the next time it connects to wifi.
