I've decided that having auto checkout on by default is a very bad idea. What it does is cause an eBook to automatically be sent to someone's bookshelf when that person gets to the front of the line. Fine, I get that it can be useful. But, it also means that it can also sit in that bookshelf for days/weeks before it's looked at/dealt with if ever. So that means that instead of going to the next person in line after borrow period expires, it sits in someones bookshelf for a long time just doing nothing. Not being downloaded and read. So that makes the line even longer.
Auto checkout should be off by default and on only if the borrower turns it on after the eBook in in the hold self.
