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.

I do sometimes checkout Kindle books if that is the only format available beside PDF but I prefer ADE library books because I can organize them better and know how many days are left and I can return them early with a click in ADE.
I have no need to to have a epub eInk reader as I can read my epubs on my Fire with Mantano.
Though I wouldn't turn a T1 down if someone was to give me one.
