Not an entirely unexpected choice.

I will say it makes me glad I live in the US and Amazon has a special deal with OverDrive that allows me to checkout library ebooks entirely via the browser, right into my ebookstore account.
As you say -- it makes my life as a linux user so much easier.

...

However, it seems your main sticking point was this:

Quote:
Over the past days, I installed both the OverDrive and 3M apps on my phone and I can tell you there is no way I would now go back to downloading e-books first to my laptop.
And I don't think any E-Ink EPUB reader could do that. Except for the Sony, which IIRC could download an ACSM license file via the builtin browser, and automagically turn that into an ebook.

One would think now that the parent company of Kobo also owns OverDrive, that they would put the two together and do an Amazon.
