I think the jetbook/Libre may be the only device that you can do this on. I would hate to have any clock that has a date function, and would not upgrade to firmware that included this.
Okay I have borrowed 5 books from my library and loaded onto my Libre. The first did not have a "return" option, showed up in my "purchased" books in ADE and allowed me to copy it to my SD card. The next two showed up as "borrowed" in ADE, do have a return option and not allow to copy to SD. So I have 3 books loaded onto my Libre. First book expires in ADE, and I choose the option to return the other two. Then I borrow two more. When I plugged in my Libre to ADE it recognized that those first three books were no longer available to me (expired/returned) and I get "failed to open file" messages from them on my Libre. Soooo... if I need a book longer than the 3 week check-out period I cannot tether my Libre to ADE until I'm done reading it? Dang... (Somewhere in there I upgraded my Aluratek firmware.)
