Anyway, on topic, why is there a limit? What purpose does it serve, unlike at the public library where someone taking out 100 books at once deprives potentially 99 other people from reading a book? It's not like they have only X number of digital files to download.

Not sure, but it could be
1 - harder to accurately track data for Amazon for their own needs and author's if most people downloaded a great quantity at once. They want to track downloads, how much is read versus just borrowed and returned unread, trends, etc.
2 - For those they believe may be pirating, they can prevent some of that easier this way. I know one person on these forums was banned for suspicious activity for extreme borrowing/returning in such a short time period.
