Depending what type of books you are borrowing this could be a non-issue or a deal breaker if you're trying to avoid the need to go through your computer. It also borrows the book in KEPUB format rather than as an EPUB so you'll want to check the display differences between these formats too.

Okay, so not quite as straight-forward with the Kobo. Today I've downloaded three documents (a Dean Koontz short story and two novellas) on the Sony PRS-T2. I forgot what a nice Reader the T2 is (I was testing it to see if I wanted to keep it or not – now I definitely do). The only thing I don't like about borrowing books (short stories and novellas) with it is that I can't return ePubs when I'm done. But on the last one I choose a 7 day borrowing period instead of a 21 day one – so that should help a little.
Any other ePub reader have this feature?
