They can't be modified because they have DRM. With lending books there is a timer on the DRM and after so many days you cannot open the book again.
Most public libraries support PDF or ePUB and MOBI. Kindle eBooks make use of the format (MOBI) and use MOBI's DRM, what makes Kindle incompatible with MobiPocket is that the Kindle has a special PID unique to the Kindle. The MobiPocket software is not allowed to read those PIDs. So you can modify the MOBI files downloaded by the library to support the kindle PID or you can remove the DRM. That is your call on what is moral and ethical, personally I don't think it's right to remove DRM on a lent book, but you make your own call.
