Of course, if that was to happen, there's be no whispersync or keeping of highlights/notes. But then, that was never supposed to happen.
But to be totally honest, I'd rather have Penguin eBooks back at Overdrive then Kindle eBooks.

I've seen some new books being offered as epub-only recently. Perhaps Penguin could do that, but leave the Kindle users the rest of the books?
