On the Amazon kindle the library book will not disappear until you connect to wifi at or after the end of the loan period. Using ADE with nook, the book becomes unopenable at the end of the loan period. For a while it would remain open but could not reopen at the end of the loan period, but I think that was fixed. The reason that the kindle loan works that way is that the kindle does not sync date-time using its own internal clock (which is completely user-set), but rather uses the cloud/Amazon's servers to determine whether the loan is over.
So you can kind of extend the loan on kindle but at the cost of not downloading anything else over wifi.
