Even the Amazon Prime Library books expire; they don't have a fixed return date but you can't check out another until you check it back in. And you lose it if the Prime subscription expires.

I have a similar quibble with the "open epub" honor system library "loans". To me they're just permafree titles distributed through libraries.

To each their own semantics.
