You can do that with a Kindle as well (in libraries in the U.S. that support Kindles) ... if you have the patience to wait on its very slow "experimental" web browser. (Definitely not as slick as the Kobo Overdrive integration.) I was in an airport and wanted to read a library book I forgot to download to my Kindle, so I used my Blackberry Q10's "hotspot" feature and the Kindle WiFi to log in to my account and download it. (Actually it makes a lot more sense to borrow the book with the phone and THEN download it to the Kindle via the experimental browser, as someone pointed out to me.)
