I agree, and I wasn't suggesting changing time limits. There are no time limits involved here. There's no time limit on Kindle Prime borrowed books, only a device restriction of what kind of device is allowed. You borrow until you're done, and when you return it, you can borrow another. I view DRM removal to allow one to read it on K4PC, for example, as not stealing. BUT that applies only if one returns it and removes it from Calibre and/or the devices it's on. I agree - using Alf to bypass the time limits is beyond the remit of what the tools are for.
