I do like to share books with my mom, my brother, and my cousin's husband. The only one of these I would lend my Kobo to is Mom. This is doable because I also have a Smart Phone I can read on but ability to lend is an edge pBooks have over eBooks. I have to say, I get anxious about loaning pBooks and have a few I'll never see again (I had to buy new copies, albeit cheap, used ones to replace Good Omens and The Graveyard Book. I also really enjoyed David Liss' The Coffee Trader and don't look to see that again but I have decided not to go through the trouble of replacing it as I am low on shelf space. Anyway, inability to lend can be a GOOD thing. ;?P However, I do remove DRM so that I can have books I have bought on Amazon on my Kobo (sometimes Amazon is cheaper than Kobobooks). I don't share them or anything, though I loved The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet so much, I see if I can get Mom to read it on my Kobo.
