I really like the OD/Amazon experience. Sure, it's not integrated into the reader but it sure beats the old days of Nook with ADE, USB cable, etc. It's the number one reason I'm quite happy to stick with the Paperwhite.

Things I don't like are fonts and font sizes. Thing that is really, really, really bugging me is the 6 inch screen size. Especially when I'm reading non-fiction and it may be enough to push over to KA1.

I'm hesitant about the OD process away from Amazon though. I'm 99% in on OD e and audio books so the ease of borrowing library books is priority number one. So I have very specific and detailed questions about how an integrated OD works in the KA1?

From descriptions and videos, the emphasis is on logging in on an OD account and searching for books. But what if I don't want to search but just want to go straight to my OD account so I can borrow from the Hold and Loan sections? Basically, are you able to access your account and use its functionality like you would if you were in a browser or the OD app on the phone/tablet?

I have access to 3 OD libraries--my understanding is that I can use all of them but that I have to log in and out of them each time?
