This turned out to be ridiculously easy -- snagging the Kindle pid, installing Overdrive to borrow the book (this is a requirement of your library), removing the DRM with a one dialog box entry (input name, output name), converting to mobi, dropping onto the Kindle.

It sounds way more complicated than it is.

If there is a caveat ... it's that many libraries have a pretty sorry collection of library e-books at the moment.
