Library books for Kindles

I know I can just load library books onto it through ADE. It has collections that the Kindle reader lacks and so many more features.

Mantano is working on a sync feature too just like the Kindle has.
My Public Library just has one place a book into the cart, click on the Kindle version, transfers one to Amazon and click on renting it as a Library book.

Overdrive or other software is not required. It loads directly into any Kindle device. However, one only has 21 days to read it.

The problem with library ebooks is that most of the historical and biographical ebooks I like to read are not available at my library since they are probably too controversial. The few which are available have waiting lists of up to 5 other people. They only have 1 or 2 copies available for eRental.

Thus, I pay for most of my ebooks other than the very few I rent from the Amazon Library for Prime customers.

I also have a Sony eReader for the very rare ebooks which Amazon may not carry. There is no need to convert from Sony to Amazon format or back if one owns both types of eReaders.
