So actually only two options, written several times.
Either give/receive your/their/a new ereader
Or register multiple people on one account.
Neither allows you to lend a single book.
And the latter (at least with a Kindle) would give them access to buy whatever they wanted on your dime.

Sharing traditional paper books always meant you had to physically hand it to the other person. With digital books you have several options. You can use the "one loan per book per forever" or you can register multiple devices on one account allowing you to share all books on that account or you can physically hand an ereader to someone else.
How about just removing the file from my device and putting it on someone else's? That is the equivalent of lending a pBook.
