I have similar issues but I only have 1 library card. I would not worry about it too much as the library may then complain to Kobo and this may make them change their habits?

I do understand why you care about this as a library is a big part of a community.

The main issue is Kobo is a business, and probably another company over another company over the Kobo business and it wants to make money. If you borrow a book then return it, it then becomes a preview book on your Kobo ereader (with a price tag to tempt you to buy it?). I cannot look for free books on my ereader. If I filter price from low to high, I get some free, 89 cent, and also $125 books mixed in on the first search page.

Kobo just wants you to spend money like any other company. Which is why the apps might be a little bit, dare i say buggy….........
