Can one read Adobe Epub Ebooks on the Kindle 2?

I ask this question because my local library is dramatically expanding their ebook collection, and most of the new books are only available in the Adobe Epub format. There are a few in Mobipocket format, which I gather can be read on the K2 with some effort.

I want to make sure that Adobe Epub DRM books cannot be read on the Kindle before I finally buy a Sony ereader.

Also, if I did read library books on K2 is there any chance that Amazon would take legal action? I gather Amazon doesn't approve of people reading library books with their hardware. Obviously, Amazon can identify those people who are reading the library books via the Whispernet.
