Although it doesn't have library support, of course, which it the main drawback of a non-Adobe based ebook reader.
It does have library support in the USA. The OP did not say where he lives. It is always helpful to include where you live in the information about you when looking for help.

Our local library only loans epub books through Overdrive (Overdrive in Australia does not offer Kindle books).
So I assumed he was in Australia, without Kindle library books.

Somewhat off topic, but damn I miss the vision I had when i was in my teens and twenties. I was almost like Bugs Bunny reading the eye chart.

Sorry, I missed that. I was looking at his sidebar where it should be stated. Yes, only ePub will do in Australia.
