I'm missing the subtle part.
They don't offer any Amazon publishing titles to public libraries. Nothing subtle there.
University presses used to be just as bad, but once in a while they lately allow a title to go to Overdrive.
The Bezos-owned Washington Post is widely available, on computers and tablets but not eReaders, to public library patrons (in Pennsylvania, it comes through Gale OneFile News). That's the only subtlety I see, and it's not much a subtlety to realize that Bezos personally does not equal Amazon. (I subscribe anyway, for greater convenience, and because of being grandfathered into a good price.)
