Blame Kindle, not the library.
You can read ebooks on a Kindle Fire tablet, but not on a Kindle ereader. As far as I know, Samsung and Apple sell tablets, but not ereaders. Kindle is, by far, the most popular ereader device and format available. I think the libraries should adapt their ebook collections to operate on the Kindle ereader. It is a significant part of their ebook customer base.
