OK, something's changed since yesterday... Where before, on Amazon there was the regular box that said "download book" or whatever, NOW there's a DIFFERENT BOX that says:

"Due to publisher restrictions, this book cannot be delivered wirelessly and must be downloaded and transferred via USB. You currently have no devices registered that support transferring via USB. " I can't select any of my "Kindle apps" and download.

So, regardless of what the library entry for the download says, apparently Penguin - and I found a reference that the Lost Fleet series is indeed Penguin - has done their best to screw everybody that wants to try the series from the library. And I just confirmed they still don't list an epub version.

I did find a whole bunch of sites that show the first book as a free epub download, but I presume they're actually pirate sites so I was reluctant to mess with them.
