IIRC If you're using the web page, then yes. Once you select a format, you can't use the website to get another one. However, I have worked around this before.
When I borrow an ebook at my library in the USA, I have the choice to "Read now with Kindle", "Read now in browser", or "Download ePub". Without selecting any of those choices, the book is available to read in the Libby app on my iPad and downloads automatically to my KA1. Once I select "Read now with Kindle", the ePub option disappears on the website. However, I can still choose to read the ebook in the browser.
To get the ebook into my Kindle, as you probably know, I have to select "Get library book" from the special Amazon page that opens when you opt to "read now with Kindle". Then it automatically loads onto my Kindle. It also loads onto my Kindle app on my iPad when I open the app (or sync).
Even then, I can still read the eBook with Libby and my KA1 while it's also on my Kindle. I don't know if Overdrive has loosened things, or if my library is generous. How does it work for you?
