Tip #1 on extending a library loan: After downloading the loaned eBook, put your Kindle in airplane mode. With no internet connection, the book will remain available for you to read until you exit airplane mode and the internet connection allows the eBook to be auto-returned. I assume the book shows as returned on the Overdrive website on its due date even if you're in airplane mode, but I did not attempt to verify this. I don't use this trick too often, but if I'm close to finishing a book but I know I can't check it out again due to a waiting list, switching to airplane mode does the trick and gives me a few more days to finish. I have not used this trick for a while now, so I cannot say if they have patched this leak or not. It may or may not still work.
