I remember long ago being the recipient of a borrowed book and spilling water on it... the guy was around when it happened and even though I offered to replace it, he wouldn't accept it. Another time, same guy, different book, I returned it with the binding slightly more broken down than he liked and he was extremely upset... oops. I hate borrowing books (the one I mentioned in my previous post was taken quite reluctantly) and would love to be able to borrow them as ebooks to avoid the fear of messing them up... that said, I refuse to borrow ebooks as I don't want to "use up" their lending period, especially since I don't get as much reading time as I'd like and don't necessarily finish them in two weeks, "wasting" their one and only loan.
