Ehm, I'm pretty sure the OverDrive app doen't include any code to auto-select the Kindle format if used on a Kindle tablet... The OverDrive app experience shouldn't be any different across devices.
Regarding e-ink device which don't do apps, Amazon has the least friction in dwnloading the book.
Technophobes with e-ink should love the Kindle, and the ones with Kindle Fires shouldn't notice a difference.
And the choice doesn't hurt.
I call FUD.
Re: ads. I have never bought anything I didn't already intend to buy, but nevertheless would consider it a fair tradeoff for access to annotations. I concede that opinions may differ, and that there are logical grounds for disliking it. Although I still disagree -- I think anyone who does buy the book would have done so anyway, from the reader platform they use (and which just so happens to be Amazon, in this case) -- I can see where you are coming from.
