Last time I looked, Adobe did not sell/lend ebooks. Nor should Adobe have direct access to the Adobe content delivery servers used to fulfill requests. From reports several years back, when I borrow an epub from the library by downloading the .acsm file, when I use the .acsm file, my Adobe ID is validated but that does not require the book information to be sent.

Now if I use my Kobo ereader or app to directly sync the ebook file, the situation is much the same as with Amazon. The somewhat nice part is that when I return the library book from my Kobo, Kobo will sync a preview which will preserve my notes/annotations if I either purchase or borrow the book again.
