The only thing close is Sony PRS-T1/T2, which has ability to download wirelessly directly from Overdrive. There are a couple of library vendors that don't support Kindle at all however, and you have to use a device borrowed from the library or an app running on a tablet. When it comes to iOS/Android tablets, there are a number of options.

But I don't know what the situation is outside the US.
The T1/T2 and forthcoming T3 are the best for library eBooks as you can download direct to the Readers. You do not need a computer to do this. It's easier then with a Kindle. In fact, if you are not in the US and you do use Overdrive, Sony is the best.
