The issue I'm referring to was that they did offer library lending through OD in the US, but withdrew from it when OD made their deal with Amazon. It took almost two years before they agreed to be on OD again and with the caveat that any Kindle borrows had to be downloaded and added to a device via USB (not sure if that's still the case for them now).
why would they care whether someone downloaded the book directly onto a Kindle vs PC/USB?
