Not without connecting to a PC for transfer.




There are basically four options I can think of...

1) Buy a Kindle (6" screens are all they do). You can checkout through OD and once you select Kindle after checkout are taken to Amazon where you tell it to send the book to your Kindle. It can then be downloaded wirelessly.

2) Buy a Kobo (6, 6.8 and 7.8" screens). As you note the Aura One will do OD directly (more or less), but it sounds like you've researched that and it won't work for your use case (more than one library). Other Kobo's won't do OD wirelessly (unless you also have an Aura One), but will work with OD checkouts transferred by USB.

3) Buy a Nook (6" screen). Again books would have to be transferred via USB. If you were to go this route be sure to research ahead of time as I seem to recall a few hoops people were having to go through to get things working (may have been fixed by now).

4) Buy an Android based reader (most run a 4.x version of Android). I know Onyx has some in a variety of screen sizes. They can sometimes be found from third party sellers on Amazon or otherwise from shops like http://ereader-store.de in Germany (will ship to US). They will be a more expensive option than a store branded reader. Not all Android apps work well on eInk Android readers so research will need to be done as to if the OD app will run and if so how well it will run on a grayscale eInk device (most are kind of underpowered so the app may or may not run well).
