I've let books auto-checkout, but not gotten to them that first day. The number of days before expiration has been reduced by that day I missed (so instead of my standard default of 7, it showed 6 days, like any book I manually checked out the day before).
Let's say you have 2 days to checkout an eBook from your library (yes, some are only 2 days). You miss checking it out in those two days, it goes to the next person in line. Auto checkout, you are set for 14 or 21 days and you miss it for 2 days, it doesn't go to the next person in line and sits in your bookself doing nothing for nobody taking longer to the next person because of auto checkout.
