If you stick to the library's platforms and process, then yes it's all legal. But the publishers do model their licensing on bricks & mortar borrowing.
They can only have as many concurrent loans as they have copies; the DRM expires after a loan period, and they can only loan so many times before having to purchase another copy.
Anything that allows you to keep it forever (like burning CDs in their collection) or transferring to an unsupported device (like a Kindle- Kobo can be done legally)- is illegal.
