The Aldiko reader is available as an Android app, and it can read library books too. There's probably an ipad app for it. I like it better than the Overdrive app. (I received an Android tablet for Christmas. I'm just getting to know it, but books came first.)
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hm, I checked my local libraries. The Oakland Public Library does have Kindle books, but the lending period is only 14 days! And the Peninsula library lets me check out mostly nonfiction and classic books for...24 hours? How do other library systems compare?

I can check out e-books for either 7 or 14 days. Most everything I've checked out I've had to go onto a waiting list for, and then had 5 days to check it out after it became available, so I just didn't check it out until I was ready to start reading immediately, and 7 days has been plenty so far.

I think every library is different. I can check out up to 20 books, have up to 21 days, but only have 48 hours from notification when on the waiting list.

I can get 25 books I think for 21 days. I never need them that long though.

I think I can only have three digital things checked out at once.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I can choose 7, 14 or 21 days and up to six at a time.
