Since you listed a selection of Amazon eInk devices, sadly, your suggestion only works for some libraries in the USA. Elsewhere, public libraries do not support loaning ebooks via Amazon. If you own a Kindle in those countries, you have to download the ACSM or LCPL file, use that to download the epub, break the DRM (if possible) and send it to your Kindle. If you own a Fire, you can add an epub reader which will hopefully allow to read a DRMmed (Adobe ADEPT or LCP) library loan (not all of them do).
