I seem to remember quite a few American Kindle owners who borrowed and continue to borrow Kindle format ebooks from their local libraries. The objection I've seen in Canada are basically the cost and the potential violation of privacy laws. While epubs are loaned by the library from their servers, borrowing a Kindle ebook redirects you to Amazon for the loan which is enough to give the average library's privacy maven a conniption fit -- the stance of the Canadian Library Association is that information on patrons should only be disclosed when required by law -- if you want information on a patron's borrowing habits, get a court order first.
