Well I could argue that, I do understand what you are saying, but if I've finished reading a book or magazine and want to share it, there's really no difference (particularly if I'm not going to read it again - and if I do they can 'give' it back).
Hell, Amazon already allows this by the simple fact that multiple devices can be on the same account. eh?
And besides, I can (if so motivated) use a copy machine and make a copy of a paper book I've purchased.
