I know many libraries already offer Sony OverDrive for lending, and some have experimented with loaning Kindles out themselves.

Give it a spin. Post about responses to the device.

Both support many more formats than just the Kindle format & PDFs. The Nook has both a color touch screen and an e-ink screen, the latter on which e-books are read. The color touch screen is used for selecting works and downloading new titles. Don't forget also that Amazon thinks they have the right to, at any time, log into your Kindle and wipe out any title they think has improper permissions. Good luck!
