No, not at all. You can do it perfectly well via e-mail, and just send the book files you download from your My NOOK Library at B&N's website to her so that she can transfer them herself, and vice versa. You should be able to do a similar thing with ADE-DRM files as long as the devices are authorized to the same ID, and she just imports them into ADE on her computer to place on the Nook.
The real issue is trust, and you'd have to give her the name and credit card # you have entered as your billing info on B&N's website, and vice versa, so that you can each unlock the others' books by typing in the "code". Very few people would do that, which is part of why B&N allows it (and also people might have bought B&N-DRM-style books from other ebookstores using different CC#s).
I should probably also mention that my loan-wait times are mostly for non-fiction, since I'm more likely to put a hold on those because the library gets fewer copies.
I think fiction might be more popular and take longer, even though they have more copies. I think it's more like 2-5 weeks for the ones that I've put my name down for, even if they've got 3 copies.
