I'm very intrigued that Kindles can access Overdrive books directly. I had no idea--I'm so conditioned by Overdrive/Nook to download to my laptop and sideload to the reader.
Before you buy a Kindle, take a look at screen shots. The Kindle is very limited in the formatting of eBooks and If you feel that might not be for you, you won't have to send it back as you won't have bought it.

But, another thing to note, a PW at $99 is not that much less than a Kobo Glo HD at $129.99 and you get the same screen as the Voyage for a lot less money. The PW/PW2 is not nearly as good as the Glo HD will be. The PW/PW2 might have front light color shifts where the Glo HD will not. Also, you'll get 300ppi where you won't with the PW series.
