Also, there is a Kindle app for the iPhone and iPad, which I use sometimes too, and those books stay forever til I take them off.
I too borrow kindle books from my library on overdrive. If I turn my wi-fi off the book does not disappear in the allowed two weeks. As long as I keep my wi-fi off my book stays on my kindle forever. It allows me time to read long library books.
