Please note that many, myself included, do not consider removing DRM from library books as being a good idea. Unlike other books that you purchase and own, a library book is a loan and removing the DRM also removes the dropdead code.

Thanks so much for your response! I followed your instructions and got everything to work. Unfortunately it is necessary to remove DRM, so it's shady at best and I'm fairly certain illegal. I borrowed a book that I already own to assuage my guilt. I spent so much time setting everything up I had to test it. Pretty slick. I'm not sure I will be using this method in the future. I just wish Amazon would play ball with OverDrive here in Canada. So much easier to read on Kindle than iPhone.
