Again, outside the USA, there is little to no support for Kindle format loans from public libraries. None of the major vendors offers this support.

And going by the local library page, your comment that "by definition, they have to have a way to load it onto your reader" is total hogwash. To quote from my local library's web help courtesy of Overdrive:

Quote:
Compatible formats
  • Kindle Books (U.S. only)
Note: Some Kindle Books from your library (including many picture books, read-alongs, and graphic novels) aren't compatible with Kindle eReaders.
