And as I mentioned in my post, there's plenty of public domain books available for the Kindle, but those are not "library books."
If you belong to a library that carries mobipocket ebooks, you can download to your computer, run kindlefix, upload to your Kindle.

The books still close after the loan period. No harm, no foul. Yes, they are "library" books. My local library, Maricopa County, carries them.
