Just the other day, I borrowed a book (The Two, by Irving and Amy Wallace) I'd had on hold from the Free Library of Philadelphia. I had the choice of Adobe epub, Adobe pdf, open epub, and open pdf. First time I've had a choice of download options, so I chose open epub, but I have no idea what that means in terms of the book expiring or not, since I've never before borrowed an open epub book.
