As the other poster said, the Sumter County system does not have Kindle formatted books, but Lake County does. Also, you cannot use the Libby Overdrive app on a Kindle ereader. You must borrow the book using a computer, tablet, or smartphone, but the book will automatically be transferred to your ereader. The newer Kindle ereaders will work fine in the dark. The Kindle Fire is nothing more than a tablet computer. So, you can use any tablet to read Kindle books by just downloading the free Kindle app on the tablet. No need to buy a Kindle Fire. I hope this makes sense.
Can I get a Lake County Library card even if I live in Sumter? It would be great if I could but I assumed I could not.

Thanks for the info on being able to use the newer ereaders in the dark.
