4 Not sure -- since it is your library card number that is used, it should be. Works for me with auto checkout on holds using the Overdrive app on Windows, iOS and Android plus web browser on Windows.
Other questions for me is will it sync your library choices between apps on other OS? Will Adobe be unhappy with adding more devices under my Adobe ID?

Okay, so it is not
just a small extension to the storefront, but a full-fledged OverDrive interface? That was what I would have expected them to do, but MGlitch's statement: "go to shop, search for a book, and if it's available to loan from your library you get that option" made me unsure.

Perhaps a competition with other sites which should remain nameless for misinformation bites of the week?

Most likely, badereader is the usual source of such misinformation...

I was given to understand that was because it actually involved using the builtin web browser and going to the OverDrive website. I do that on my Kindle all the time, and checkout OverDrive books through Amazon's library loan redemption links. Then I exit to the homescreen and sync my new book.
The nice thing about the Sony (more than other EPUB ereaders) was supposed to be that if you downloaded ACSM license files, the Sony would understand them just like ADE, and download the ebook from OverDrive's ACS.
