I can simply backdate my Pocketbook 302, and voila, the DRM library ebook is readable. Not sure what the ethical dilemma is for that.

Maybe you should pay them overdue fines, a time honored tradition
It seems a win lose situation over traditional borrowing.
Physical books you could keep them as long as you wanted to as long as you paid the
fines. Ebooks are arbitrarily yanked back.
Ebooks you never have to pay a fine, but you have to reserve them again (Really annoying when you are at page 727 out of 808.)
Still it is a system in it's infancy and perhaps libraries will figure out a way to let people renew ebooks (can't at my library currently)or keep them longer than they should by paying a fine.
However you look at it, it is an honor system and one honors it or doesn't
