Amazon
I believe Amazon is trying to drive libraries off the face of the earth. Their Kiddle deal put the control in their hands, Overdrive is just a go between and the libraries do not even get stats from Kiddle book downloads.
Overdrive
Libraries do work with Overdrive in regards to lending Kindle books. This is an issue that could use more discussion but this story about DC Comics and the Kindle is not related to libraries.
