You return them when you've finished them or they just go away at two weeks. It's easy to put them on hold. Everything is done on-line.

Those of you who are snowbirds or flakes or still have a library card from your place of origin as ebooks from libraries are borrowed over the internet you can be anywhere and borrow them and some metro libraries have a larger selection. Our king co library system here in WA lets you borrow for 28 days.
Hawaii was the same.

Another listing of free books on Kindle
Kindle buffet-----http://www.weberbooks.com/kindle/

Different free books with new ones every day. Some are only free for a day or two. Quite often they are offered as a promotion to get you reading an author so you will buy more but also when an author is on a book tour sometimes. But I got The Da Vinci Code for free it was only available for a couple of days but I was lucky and I got it. Some authors have retained the electronic rites to their books and give them to libraries so if you find your library has a lot of one author that may be why.

If you own a book you can lend it to another kindle owner (or anyone who has downloaded a free kindle reading ap) for 14 days but only that long kind of a bummer.
