As soon as you choose Kindle that is the only option (other than read online) that you have, there is no "are you sure" prompt in the new version like there was in the old version. I could see that being a huge problem for books with a long wait list and people who read on a Kobo or other ePub device.

For me if I select ePub it gives me a prompt about needing Adobe Digital Editions or (something else) and lets me cancel the selection so it doesn't appear to be a problem from that perspective.

Fortunately I have a Kindle and always prefer that option anyway so this hasn't caused me problems.
I chose epub, and I don't get any type of warning. The next time I do a checkout, I'll see if I can switch from epub to kindle.
