Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. (www.howtogeek.com)

On February 26th, Kindle customers will lose the ability to download eBook purchases directly to their PC. If you want to switch to a rival eReader brand in the future, I suggest that you use the soon-to-be discontinued "Download and Transfer via USB" feature to archive your Kindle library.

My library has used Libby for years. It's another version of Overdrive. My library books download to Kobo fine unless they're changing something else I don't know about.
