To Amazon.com:

I have a Kindle 2i. I love it. We are in the market to buy a second eReader device. But, at present it will NOT be a Kindle. Why?

Why is because of Public Library books via Overdrive.

The Amazon.com Kindle store is great. I even just added a magazine subscription. We read MORE borrowed library eBooks than purchase.

So Amazon, how could you turn this pending purchase around to be another Kindle?
1) Provide an interface between Amazon.com and Overdrive which format shifts and delivers via WhisperNet.
Imagine a button on Overdrive.com that says deliver to "My Kindle". The books would still be protected and time limited.
OR
2) Create your own eBook rental site like BlockBuster and NetFlix.
