My library system supports Overdrive e-book lending. So far I am not that impressed, there are not many books available and much more are taken out compared to print books, probably because it is so trivial to have the 5 book limit constantly loaded. However, I use linux so I cannot use the desktop "Overdrive Media Console" or "Adobe Digital Editions" software.

A librarian and Amazon's site both mention that you can download books from your Amazon account via wi-fi without needing to resort to usb. Is Kindle the only reader that can do this? However, I also notice there is much less title availability of Kindle editions compared to DRM Epubs.
