I assume the Kindle must have some calendar as it is able to keep track of your periodicles to some extent (maybe not as fully as your Calibre or Amazon does on your my Kindle page).

I've always wondered, though, does DRM and duration of lending need to be connected? If you borrow an ebook from a library and you want to get it into a format compatible with your reading device... why should the time limit be lost?

Ultimately, it would be nice if Amazon would somehow make a way for users to be able to use library books. That could be as simple as providing an app to convert the appropriate epubs to a Kindle format or just allowing for Kindles to read epubs in the first place.
