Not to be too nitpicky, but this practice falls under the shady area of perhaps not-quite-legal-and/or proper, if you don't live in the jurisdiction where the library is. Just because it can be done, 'sharing' someone else's library account isn't right. Why? Because there are a limited number of copies of e-books available at a given time. (I've seen some posts here from another user boasting about how many 'shared' elibrary accounts she has access to.)
Disagree with me? Just wait until you can never check out any of the books you want at the elibrary where you pay supporting taxes because they have all been checked out by 'borrowed' accounts. I'm sure most library Terms of Use have restrictions against this practice, which puts it in the same realm as piracy.
Just sayin'....
