While I am willing and able to make Overdrive public library eBooks work on my Kindle, my partner is definitely NOT.
Had Amazon provided an interface to read Overdrive library books, we would not have ordered the WiFi Nook yesterday. It would have been the $189 Kindle 2i. I like the Kindle a little better than the Nook.
I like the Amazon store. I don't mind terribly being tied to this one store - as long a non-DRM Mobi and PDF can be side loaded.
But now, Amazon has lost my partner for future eBook purchases and magazine purchases. 90% of her use will be from the public library. But, that 10% purchase will likely come from B&N - not Amazon.
