Most DRM schemes/TOS allow for limited sharing, the kinds households would expect to do, by allowing multiple devices to link to an account. And there is nothing that says you can't lend the book when it's on a reader.

I've actually participated in a number of discussions on "how can I share (part of) my kindle/nook library with my child" that do not require any circumventing of DRM.
