Last time I talked to an American librarian, the cost was $0.08-0.12 for each library loan plus Amazon's bandwidth fees which depends on the size of the ebook file.
Strange that this hasn't come out with all the talk about overdrive library/ebook borrowing?

As a counter example:

And it is interesting that there are concerns about privacy and ebook library loans, for example Canada, but library loans through Kobo are fine in Canada (and the U.K.)
