Both libraries I've worked out loan readers (without a charge). The public library has Sonys it sends out preloaded with several OverDrive books (usually best sellers). My current library lends out Kindles that have our purchased books on them. If someone downloads a Kindle book through their Amazon account, that's cool, it'll disappear when we deregister, re-register and sync, and they have it forever. It's been working out nicely. :-)
Now personally lending an ereader out? I think if I bought an "upgrade," then the old one would be open to lending with friends and family, or gifted to someone as an entry device.
