Yes, and this may be true even if you NEVER borrow a Kindle format ebook. More than once, after borrowing an epub from my library, I've visited Amazon to suddenly see the same book, books in the same series or books from the same author suggested. I'm quite certain they get that info from Overdrive as I primarily buy and ALWAYS borrow epub!

It's rather annoying and definitely an invasion of privacy. Not enough for me to stop using the library though....
