I doubt that you will ever find support for Kindles in the public library system outside the USA. Just too expensive for the library and in countries where the libraries consider user privacy important, having the ebook fulfilled outside of the library system is a nightmare. Unlike an ePub loan where I can download the .acsm file from the library and then use ADE to fulfill the loan on my personal computer, a Kindle library loan
must be fulfilled through Amazon.
If you think that Amazon is not mining those library loans for customer information, one relative of mine who lives in the USA and who borrowed several library books on pregnancy would be happy to disagree. They were flooded with Amazon's directed email advertising— the "We found something you might like" emails—trying to sell baby clothing, furniture, diapers (disposable and washable), breast pumps, bottles, etc. for months.
