I really don't know why anybody would go through all the hassle of the weeks of Overdrive Waitlists etc with the goal of keeping Library book. If they just want the book to keep, almost any book can be found in under 20 seconds from one of the 100s of Pirate Sites or RapidShare or wherever.

I primarily have the plug-ins installed to protect my purchases but yes I have put Library books on my Kindle. I like to read on my Kindle because it is my favorite eReader. I can't see why it matters all that much to the library whether I'm reading the book on my Sony, on my Kindle, or on my Computer.

But yes, it does break DMCA pretty much in the same manner that people have been copying library CDs to their iTunes or keeping Overdrive audiobooks on the iPods way past the due date for years.
