It is used in Germany. We can choose if we like to lend a book for 2, 4, 7, 14 or 21 days. We can give it back early or it just expires. Why would anyone need to remove the drm when they can keep a book for three weeks?
Kobos aren't sold here anymore, so it is of no consequence if they can't read the new DRM. They want to sell their Tolinos and Tolino can do it. The libraries talked to Tolino first and then later to Pocketbook. They claim there is no need for them to cater to manufacturers that don't sell in Germany anymore, like Sony or Kobo. But considering how many of those Kobos still work I guess Kobo should make the CARE DRM accessible for their devices.
