I usually work in the other direction. The university library increasingly "shelves" recent, specialized titles as e-books. Evidently it contracts with a commercial firm or is a member of a consortium, and may not even "own" the book until I or someone else requests to borrow it. Usually it comes as an epub, which I then convert to a mobi via Calibre. (Occasionally it's a PDF. Never Kindle format.)
I continue to hope Amazon will not zero out the competition. It's unhealthy, and I doubt it will work. Nothing is forever, and every corporation and country eventually stumbles.
