Libraries usually have a finite number of copies of eBooks. The library I borrow from usually has between 2 to 5 copies, and 2 formats (Mobi and PDF), and will only lend out that limit at a time. The books I borrow are PDF's in ADE DRM and expire in 3 weeks.
You can return them early to the library and they will release your copy to another borrower, and your copy is nixed. You can put a hold on an ebook if the max copies are currently lent out, and we are notified when one is returned early or has expired.
The problem I have is that, a lot of the time, the books I want to borrow have all been lent out in the format I want.
