For Nook, Overdrive library books (or any epubs with Adobe DRM) can be sideloaded once you've put your Adobe ID into the Nook's settings. Since I sideload everything to my Nook, it would be just as easy as every other book I read on there. Although I haven't bothered since I have a Kobo.

The current Kobos are completely seamless. Once you've set up your library info on the Kobo, then it's just like shopping for Kobo books. You can use the Kobo itself. Or if you check out Overdrive books on your library's website/app, then the books are available on your Kobo next time you sync.

For Kindles, I believe you check out through your library's website and then choose the option to send to your Kindle. So it may be a tiny bit less seamless than Kobo. Although I like to browse on my library's Overdrive website rather than on the Kobo itself anyway. So for me it would be essentially the same.

My library also has cloudLibrary ebooks. Those use Adobe DRM and need to be downloaded with the cloudLibrary app. You can then sideload them to either Nook or Kobo devices.
