It makes more sense now that they come loaded with books, though still a bit odd as surely the library has to pay for the e-books as well and how do you guarantee there is something you'd like?
After working in libraries for a number of years it's all well and good having a fee if you don't return the device but the chances of that fee being collected are slim. We were forever chasing people with large fines/numbers of books late, that had been accumulating for years but it really came down to if they ever came in again or responded to the letters from the debt collectors.
