Overdrive isn’t compatible with Kindles, the biggest book market, in some countries.

If the problem is that people can't afford to buy published fiction, are they going to own a kindle? What for?

A kindle is a single purchase that could be saved up for or given as a gift, whereas multiple books are many purchases that can add up. I got my first kindle for about 20 bucks because Amazon sent me a coupon. Plenty of people could have a kindle but be limited in how many books they can afford to purchase for it. (And also as for the 'what for,' half my kindle is favorite fanfics. I've also got a couple fan-translated light novels on there that I converted with Calibre, which is free.)

I just use the free kindle app on my phone.

You can put pdf's & other documents on a Kindle to read. Also, free ebooks/epub files exist on the internet, even without taking piracy into account. There's also Kindle sharing, so your friends can "lend" you ebooks via Kindle. On top of that, a Kindle is a one-time purchase (& you can often get someone else to buy it for you as your one big birthday/holiday gift). Buying original fic is multiple purchases throughout the year, & if you are a prolific reader, that can quickly get expensive without library access.

Owning a Kindle definitely costs way, way less than buying physical books. There are so many free websites where you can get books in digital format. It saved me so much money (and space).
