With the Sony reader, the transaction was just between you and the library. Amazon is far more aggressive than Sony. Perhaps that's why the Kindle is still around. I'm waiting to see how the Kobo/Sony merger works out.

Yes, that is rather unfortunate. It's something some librarians are unhappy about as well.
