Nook and kindle allow you to lend books (for 14 days, 1 time per book) to another individual with a nook or kindle account, as long as the publisher allows it as well. I have lent and borrowed many books this way. Unfortunately, if you buy the same books elsewhere (say, the publisher's bookstore, sony, etc.) you can't lend/borrow it it. So you can lend, it's just restricted by platform and publisher. (You can lend without the device/s if you use the nook/kindle apps).
