Thanks Paul for posting the info.

I hope you don't think I was being tetchy with you, because that was not my intention.
No, I just thought, since you commented on the length of their reply, that to be fair to Kobo I should post their complete response.

For example, in France we are unquestionably allowed to share our ebooks within the circle of family and friends, or to use them in a way that was not intended by the published (like text-to-speech, printing, etc). And for doing this, we are allowed to circumvent or remove any DRM for interoperability and backups.
Can you point me toward your sources? Last time I checked, even the DRM removal to do a backup (copie privée) wasn't clear-cut

I was just wondering how some had their books deleted from their ereader.
In reference to the 1984 debacle at Amazon, they did not delete the book from your ereader. They deleted it from your library. Therefore, if you did not have a DRM free one on your computer, you lost access to it if you had deleted it off the kindle or if you registered a new device. I've had similar experience when I have 'returned' an ebook to Amazon. It deletes out of my library within a few hours, but stays on my unit until I delete it. Sure, you could abuse this a bit, but I normally only return when I get the wrong version of something.

Don't confuse this with the Overdrive method of "expiration". In that case, you have access to the book, even past expiration, until you hook your unit up to the Internet and it syncs. Then it 'expires.'

The best way to share your library with a spouse is to buy a second Kobo reader and register it to the same account. You can read your library on yours and he/she can read it on their own Kobo eReader. The only drawback is that when you begin reading a book he/she already read, your Kobo will offer to sync to the "last page" you read, which is the last one your SO read. Easy to solve by archiving books when you finish reading, and then downloading archived books when your are ready to read it too.

Actually, you can get Kobo to delete books from your eReader. Login to Kobo.com, go to your library. If you have one of those OMG! what was I thinking moments, you can delete the book from your library on this page. Kobo will ask if you're sure. Say yes. But it nags with warnings that the book will be gone for good. You have to hit the "Yes dammit" button, then the next time you sync: <poof>
