OverDrive and Amazon have a deal (in the US only) so that Kindle versions are often (not always) one of the checkout options (other options will be ePub and sometimes PDF). So your library buys a book and the Kindle version, if available, is fulfilled by Amazon so that the book works with things like whispersync. The price the library system pays for a book depends on the publisher.
