Unless something has changed... Haven't been around here for a couple years.
Considering the backend officially supported by Amazon for ebook lending is Overdrive, it's hard to see how switching to Kindle format ebook loans is going to allow access to more libraries so I would disagree with your statement that "you will GAIN the ability to borrow library books". In point, you may lose the ability to borrow from your current library.

For more information, you can check the Borrowing Kindle Books from your library's OverDrive website or the OverDrive app item on Overdrive's site or the Check Out a Public Library Book on Amazon's site.
