This is actually really helpful, and not obvious. I think my old friend would be fine getting books from OverDrive.com. I just tested it and it works great (aside from OverDrive's own confusing website): borrowed the book via browser, and it synced to the device.

Since that works, I think a lot of my challenges are resolved by turning on parental controls, since it simplifies the device by that much.
