Not according to the TOS on most ebook store sites. Amazon, B&N, Fictionwise & Smashwords all have TOS bits that prevent any sharing whatsoever, with the small exception that B&N has built their one-time two-week lending into the TOS. However, ebooks are claimed to be for personal non-commercial use only, an installable on devices that you own only.
(Non-commercial use... apparently, you can't use B&N ebooks for job research.)
If it's reasonable to ignore that part of the TOS, why not ignore other parts as well?
