I suppose that would do it... but from the standpoint of a Kindle owner, perhaps they should have dropped out of the consortium and go their own way with OverDrive.

I believe it is also possible to use "OverDrive Advantage" to maintain a private collection only visible to a specific consortium member -- I doubt those are limited the same way?

Err, yeah -- not much of a fan of an ADE-only library system.
