Getting books from the library idea is great, but not without problems. To get the book you have to go to the library's website and download it. There is a set amount of time that you have to read it (14 days usually). The library may only have a couple copies of any book that you might actually want and you have to reserve a hold on the book (just like a regular book) and wait. Many of the most popular books will have wait lists of up to 100 people. You may get frustrated waiting and end up buying the book outright.
Some libraries, mine included, are not part of the OverDrive system. Given the present economy, they don't have the needed funds.
Any non-DRM'd epub book can be easily converted by Calibre to be read on a Kindle.
