Other than that, they work great!

The loan period for library books is based on your individual library's policy. From what I've seen, libraries allow books to be borrowed for up to 21 days. However, I do know at least one library will books may be borrowed for only up to 14 days. Either way, when you go to check out a library book, there is a drop down list so that you can determine how long you want to borrow the book, either 7, 14, or 21 days (if allowed).
I'm not sure what you mean by not being able to download when you want to, but if a book is available in your library, you can borrow it immediately. However, many popular books may already be checked out, in which case you can add yourself to the waiting list and you will be notified by email when the book is available for checkout.
I personally think borrowing library books is the best feature of the nook (or any ereader that can read epub)! My library recently converted to epub and now has 3,000+ books, including new releases. I haven't had to buy a book in 2 months!
