Technically it makes sense the way it works. When you borrow with Overdrive and get the Kindle version, then Overdrive does not know who exactly receives the loan. Whoever is logged in or logging in to Amazon will get the loan (if it is eligible, like a US account). When you renew how would Overdrive know whom to send the information to? Also quite possibly it is a money issue. I don't believe for a second that Amazon is doing the library thing for free. They may not allow altering an existing loan and require Overdrive to issue a new loan including a new fee payment (either original+extended borrow time or just the extended).
