From my impression, Amazon has never released their in-house published e-book to libraries in the past, correct? I agree it would be nice if they did since they publish quite a bit now, and will likely keep expanding.
Yes, it's mentioned in both the articles linked in the OP that Amazon is negotiating with the Digital Public Library of America. Here's DPLA's statement: https://dp.la/news/update-on-dplas-d...zon-publishing

Amazon books from DPLA would be available through the SimplyE app, not via Overdrive or in your browser or on your Kindle. The reviews of the SimplyE app are pretty bad, and it's one more platform for librarians to learn and support.
