Why buy a reader that doesn't let you borrow library books for free! Sort it out Amazon.

Yep, that's what put the Kindle out of the running for me. It's not really to do with Amazon, though - it's politics between the publishers. It's clearly technically possible because it works with US libraries.

I did it with the basic one (the Wi-fi), although via the PC, not the Kobo wireless. Had no problems at all. I did have Adobe Digital Editions set up, though. That was rather a pain to set up with the Sony, but possibly might be less so with the Kobo. However, once it's done, it's done, and after that downloading's easy.
