Some are only pdf/kindle. That's when I get the Kindle version.

FWIW I would probably get the kindle verison too if the only alternative was pdf...but I have a Kindle device. My experience was that pdfs are OK to read on the (1st gen) nook and actually better to read on the computer screen itself (you get to take advantage of the screen real estate better).

I'll continue to get Kindle versions, because I have a Kindle and the delivery is still wireless.

Yes, there are indeed books out there in libraries that AREN'T in epub. As always, HAD I BEEN ABLE TO, I'd have gotten the epub and none of this would have been a problem.

Or, had I known of this latest attack on libraries and readers, whether Amazon is/was complicit or not, I'd have downloaded the pdf.

Anyhow, no, I don't have a physical Kindle. I'll have to see if I can borrow one of the local ones to get the book I borrowed out of limbo. S'not a mistake I"m likely to make again.
