Loaning out your only reader full of all your favourite erotic novels to your father could be problematic.

The whole removing DRM so I can loan my ebook like a would a paper book produces an interesting situation. If I've already decided which conditions I care to obey then who's rules will I follow about how many friends I can loan to at once? It reminds me of that old joke: "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me and all my friends."
