So, does that mean that it is ethical and acceptable to back up the borrowed library ebook on your computer for your personal use? Or is this a violation of the implied use agreement by borrowing the book in the first place? I had an interest in downloading the book and reading it later over the long weekends of the upcoming holidays, or I can read it in the next 14 days and let it be removed from my devices.
What do you think?

That may have been copied from the description. I've seen it before on eBook from the library that do have DRM. There are some that don't have DRM. But you'll known when you go to borrow as you'll get a choice of ePub or Open ePub.
