I have not been able to use library books on my kindle but that is because my library does not have ebooks for download... but to answer your question, yes it can be done and on a mac

There are python scrips out there that you can use to get the PID for your Kindle. Once you have that you can either download the book and remove the DRM to read it on your Kindle or you can "fix" the book to be able to read it on the kindle all DRM'ed and what not. If you ask me it is better to just remove the DRM all together.
You are going to run in to moral dilemmas that, well, I am not going to talk about since people do what people do.

I can email you the scripts if you need them or you can google: MobiDeDrm.py Kindle PID.py Kindlefix.py
