There are some problems with borrowing from the archive.org collection (the "Lending Library"). The license is tied to the device that handles fulfillment of the .acsm file. The only 'device' that works is Adobe Digital Editions, and the only other things you can read with are things that ADE recognizes when they're tethered (e.g. Sony). You cannot take the fulfilled .ePub/.PDF file and side load it to, say, Bluefire or Overdrive on iOS, as you can with books borrowed from Overdrive portals. For me, it greatly limits the already limited usefulness of a limited collection of titles with lots of formatting issues and typos.
