I think there's a HUGE difference between making a library book readable on your chosen ereading device and "taking food off someone's table". We're not talking about reselling these copies and I would assume that we're not talking about sharing the copies with anyone (I can only speak for myself and I know that I don't). Additionally, once read, the copies are deleted, just as they are when I “return” them electronically. The publishing company/author has been compensated for that "copy" of the book, just as if I checked out a hardcopy from the library.
I’m sure that most people here are well aware of the "rules". Personally, after doing my own research which included speaking with someone that works at the patent and trademark bureau here in DC, my conscious is clear and I don't expect to have law enforcement knocking on my door over "pirated books". Maybe try the "blacklisted kindle" thread if you wanna ride your high horse?
