I shared books with my brothers since I learned how to read, and then I shared books with my friends. I never worried about the condition of the books because all the people that I know that I interested in reading take good care of books and return them when they are done.
But in your case wouldn't ebooks be independent of the causes that made you worry about lending pbooks?
