Library Lending Problems

When I borrow ebooks from the library, I have set my lending period to 21 days, yet when I open the book in my adobe digital editions it says 2 weeks and on my nook I will "loose" the book in 2 weeks. Why the difference in lending times.

    Have they actually expired, or just say they are going to.

    ADE2.0 stupidly decides to quote expiry in weeks, and rounds it down.

    So 1 minute after you have borrowed, and have 2 weeks, 6 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes left, it says 2 weeks.

    I think it will actually last the correct time.

    If you ask the Nook it will probably tell you the loan expiry correctly.

    Also, if you ask for detailed info on the book (ctrl-I), ADE probably tells you correctly.

    I signed out an ebook on July 29,2013 and today - 11 days later  I can no longer read the book on my nook. It says lending period has expired. That doesn't even give me 2 weeks and I ask for 21 days. Also on my library account it still says the book expires on August 19th. Which would give me the 21 days I originally asked for.
