Compared to Kindles, it has many advantages (more customization options; an open OS enabling users to write various patches and tweaks for it without needing to root/jailbreak; tight integration with Calibre, including automatic management of series and collections; the ability to install other reading applications, like KOReader), but also a couple of disadvantages (can't sync sideloaded content between different devices and apps, like you can with a Kindle; overall, Kobos tend to have somewhat more bugs than Kindles, although by no means always). The Libra 2 is also a bit slower than the latest Kindles, as it uses an older processor, but OTOH it has a very good screen.

And I also did not mention that I have access to my local library through Overdrive, so does that make the Kobo an even more compelling choice?

If you're in the US, you can use Overdrive with a Kindle as well, but not elsewhere, as far as I know.
