I like the library book aspect of the Kobo; I like the richness of the Amazon bookstore and the full features of the Kindle. So, I have one of each.
I'd really like Amazon to support ePub; but things are fine as they are for the time being. Over time, DRM will wither out or become transparent -- I don't care which. Perhaps Kindle delivery of library books via Whispernet will include a small charge to the participating library, and a slightly smaller fee to Overdrive ... to compensate Amazon for the deliver costs / service. Overdrive makes it up in volume; the library sees higher usage at a modest uptick in cost; Amazon delivers an even better reader experience. Yes, it could work.
