There is a difference between owning a book and borrowing it, which I think it is reasonable to carry through to the digital world. If it's OK to copy a book when you borrow it, authors will lose more profitable sales to library loan + copy.

So if my library has eBooks for loan but they are only in ePub format (and with DRM) that my Kindle cannot read, is it OK for me to strip the DRM, convert the book to Kindle-readable, read it on my Kindle and then delete it when I'm done?
Kinda just as I'd do if I had a Nook or Sony reader (albeit more work).
