You can borrow my ereader when you pry it out of my cold dead fingers?

A very slippery slope which is why I came to the decision that I would not remove DRM from library books. On occasion, I've upped the load time from my default 7 days but if I can't finish a book in 21 days, I'm never going to finish it. If I broke the DRM, it would be too easy just to keep the book -- what if I want to read it again? It really doesn't cost the library anything? Whatever other justifications come to mind.
