When I buy a paper book, I don't want to have 5 pages and then return to get the next 5 pages.
If that is the future, I will change to scanning myself again.
To borrow an ebook from Dutch libraries you need
• (local) library card / online account
• ereader
• Adobe Digital Editions

Then your able to borrow and download the ebooks to your ereader.
After downloading you can read the books off line, a WiFi conncection is not required.
When the lending periods expires the ebooks will be deleted automatically from your ereader.
You can check the expiration date and time of an individual book under the book info. If the ereader shows the proper metadata tag. Currently, Kobo ereaders don't.
