TU Darmstadt's library has introduced electronic lending of books in pdf format. The files can be downloaded and are usable for 4 days (before presumably bitrot sets in). The scheme is based on acroread 6, of which Adobe is obviously not going to release a Linux version. This isn't the first university implementing this scheme, and I guess won't be the last. This sucks!
