We have no plans to support iTunes File Sharing which is a very kludgy file sharing system whose main purpose is to create yet another reason to run the bloated iTunes app. We already provide the most advanced cloud based bookshelf and see no benefit to participating in the iTunes marketing.
As far as returning library books early, it is a trivial feature that we will inevitably add in the near future. Bluefire apparently supports this now, but does it actually do anything or is it like their Adobe ID deactivation function which does not do anything but delete your current activation. It does not, as some believe, reduce the number of current device activations which is not possible because it is not supported by Adobe.
As far as "deleting" library books from the cloud, we see no benefit to removing every trace of the book. We actually retain the reading log info as well as any highlighted excerpts and annotations even after the book is expired so you can continue to acces these things as long as you want. If you have no further interest in the book, you can Hide it and it will not show up in any other category of your bookshelf, but you can easily recover it if you want. There is no user memory consumed, no cost to the user and lots of potential benefits.
