Do you have an ereader?

Late to the party here. You cannot use library e-books on a Kindle. Kindle is amazon format only. You have to have a non-kindle reader for e-pubs etc. which is what the libraries offer.

I understand there are some third party software that will convert ePub to kindle format - but of course you couldn't do this with library texts. I really do like my Sony Reader. I am sure all of the primary e-readers are good for the purpose - just different strengths and weaknesses.

Lo, you CAN do it with library texts. There's lots of software out there that will strip the drm off of the various formats, hack them so to speak, you just have to know where to find it and how to use it.

My point is, if you are a library user, a Kindle would be a worthless purchase. Proprietary stuff really pisses me off... if someone wants to be stuck buying books from Amazon, they can be my guest.

Actually, that's changing. Kindle owners will be able to read library books later this year:
