My question: is there a workaround (alternative OS maybe?) that will let me read books borrowed from one of these services or should I just send it back when it arrives and order a Kobo Aura (which does support library ebooks)? Thanks!
Actually, the Aura only natively supports library books available through Overdrive, so you're out of luck there, as well. Of course, you can still download the books to your computer using ADE and transfer them to your Kobo that way, so it's still more accessible than the Paperwhite for you.
