Library2Go eBooks are protected using Adobe ® Digital Rights Management (DRM). Here is a listing of devices and computers that are currently compatible with Library2Go eBooks and the software required to make it all work:

The Kindle does not currently support the Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection publishers and suppliers require for Adobe EPUB and PDF eBooks offered through Library2Go.
If you're interested in the technical reasons behind the Kindle's incompatibility with Library2Go books, Jason Griffey, a librarian, technologist, writer and speaker, has written a long but clear post about it in his blog, Pattern Recognition.
Why isn't Apple's iPad on this list?
Actually, it will be eventually. OverDrive says they're working on it.
