I suspect that you'd only see problems from this feature's current use if you got a library book, put *another* book *with the same ASIN* onto the Kindle, then waited for the book, uh, not sure what you call it: pass into its return period?

Of course if you do put two different books onto the Kindle with the same ASIN at the same time it misbehaves anyway, so you're well into the realm of "don't do that then".
