Still, I could see that a library book is more acceptable than a KU book due to the scheme used for payment.
tbh I used to leave the books in calibre, but only to avoid borrowing the same story twice. Which I did repeatedly and annoyingly back in the days when I walked to library and checked out actual books to read. Don't bother now.


PS toff would more likely say that's not cricket old boy

But , after Brexit, no one says toffs anymore, they say rich b****tards instead.
