I am sure B&N is testing the waters here. They are in uncharted water and are playing it safe until they can see what happens. They can easily change the policy to allow more times later but cannot easily restrict it later. It is a break through feature IMHO and gets around the idea that only a paper book can be loaded to a friend. If you loan your paper book then you cannot read it until you get it back and I am sure this is the exact model they are looking for.
