OK, I've downloaded an ebook on loan from my local public library, which was in DRM'd mobi. I dedrm'd it so I can read it on my Sony, and then used calibre to put it into LRF. Out of curiosity, does this convert the expiration date too? It's moot in this case because, like all mobi books at my library, it's an "always available" book (not sure how that works) - the ones that you have to go on a wait list for, that are presumably restricted to a certain number of borrowers, are all in Adobe DE. So it's easy to "renew" if it still expires on the reader, ie just redownload it and convert it. But I'm wondering how the expiry is inserted into the metadata, and if it is still applicable when it's in lrf format.
Thanks,
R
