I know it would be naive to think no one would abuse it, but I know there are at least some who would use those tools just to be able to read on the eReader of their choice.

I know there are people on these boards who've posted that they use the tools on epubs from the library, so they can read them on their Kindles, but they fully intend to delete the books when they're done with them. They're complying with the spirit of the library rules, if not the letter.

I had someone ask me about a rented textbook once because she had trouble reading it on her computer screen and wanted to use her reader. I wasn't able to help her, because I couldn't find a hack. But she's a person I would have trusted to follow the spirit of the rental and delete it when she was finished with the class.
