As far as the person that says "just check it out in epub"......... IF IT HAD BEEN AVAILABLE IN EPUB I WOULD HAVE. Kindle format is way down the list of my choice.

I said "epub or pdf" since you said it was available in pdf.
I can recommend that series, by the way. It's good. Although I read it before I had an ereader.

And although I probably explained it oddly, the REASON not being able to get the book means I don't buy the books is that the way I usually try new series I'm not familiar with is to get one (hopefully the FIRST one) and read it. If I like it, I usually buy the rest of the series so I have them when I'm in the mood to read 'em. Since I wasn't able to get the first one downloaded, I'm less likely to buy the rest - in this case not only because I couldn't try the first one but ALSO 'cause the publisher is a large, malodorous pile of excrement in my opinion and isn't going to get any money. I'm not too happy with Amazon either...

I agree with you this is awful. I don't see any reason to exclude kindle apps from lending, if they are going to lend to the kindle platform at all.
However, if you did check it out as pdf you could read it on a PC using ADE. Not ideal, but possible. Most of my early Overdrive checkouts were pdfs I read on my laptop. I always got annoyed when I had to leave the laptop to, say, go to work or go to the bathroom
and had to stop reading.
