I think one of the Tolino readers (as well as a Sony T2 and T3) would probably work on both libraries. (The Sonys don't have front lights.) Tolinos and these specific Sonys have ADE built right into the device. But I can only speak for Overdrive, I've never used the other service you're talking about, "CL."

The way it works on my Tolino Page and my Sony T2 is that I use the built-in browsers, and log in to Overdrive. I can borrow the book from the devices' browsers, but that takes forever — it makes more sense to do the borrowing from a smartphone, a computer or a tablet, then login to your account on your device and just download your loan. You're still using the super-slow device browser, but not for much less time and it should be bearable.

Used Tolinos are on sale at eBay, some for around $30. Might be worth a shot to see how well they work with both library systems.
