This might actually convince me to get a Kindle. Almost everything I read is from the library and I go through a lot of books, so it would get expensive if I had to purchase them for the Kindle. Either way, I will probably wait until this is actually implemented and I can see if my library participates and how good the selection is.
This is good news for those of us who prefer to take advantage of our tax dollars for electronic media. OverDrive is the iPad app which works very well for library ePubs but not as well as the Kindle app. It doesn't have dictionary lookup, for example. It would be terrific if Audible makes a similar announcement.
You might want to check out the current ePub selections at your library. There is sometimes a virtual line for titles but I like what I can get.
