The Internet Archive has their system setup that you can't download the book that is on loan. You have to read it on their site within their reader, so they will not be loaning it to more than one. I've used the system. The first time when I got to the end of two weeks and I'd not finished the book I was like, no biggie, I'll just renew the loan. When the loan time ran out and I tried to get it again, I had to go on a waiting list. This is the publishers trying to hold onto control in an industry where people can and do self-publish.
