If by "share" you mean "give them a copy" then I'm sorry, but what you're describing is piracy, plain and simple. Your friend wants a copy of a book? He buys a copy. What entitles your friend to a free copy? I'm sorry, but buying a book does not give you the right to hand out copies of it to all your friends and family. What do you think gives you that right?
