I wasn't sure where this would go in the forums and I really haven't seen anyone else bring it up but if I'm in the wrong spot please correct me.

I just bought a reader for my friend (a prs-505 of course) who lives in Las Vegas, and along with her reader I sent one of my memory cards so she could (hopefully) save herself the cost of a few books if she happens to like any of mine.

Does anyone else do that? I don't know if doing that kind of stuff "upsets" the whole copyright thing or not, but I wouldn't think so. It's just like borrowing or sharing a real book. I was just wondering...if I bought a book I didn't end up liking and wanted to sell it or give it away would that pose a copyright problem?

Can I get someone else's take on the whole idea of swapping/borrowing/selling memory cards?
