I think i'm right in saying that 'technically' and 'legally' you can't lend a book to someone else... i know it sounds mad, but it's still copyrighted material, and I think I'm right in saying that you can not lend or resell (although.. that would kill off 2nd hand book shops altogether!!) any book which is copyrighted.
Would need to check when I get home, but I'm sure I'm right in the above. If true, it wouldn't be a 'true' drawback of the ebook. Would be really surprised tho if someone doesn't strip out the protection so that you could 'lend' it to a friend....
