@Miss: I've had a Jetbook, an Ebookwise, a Sony Reader, and I've only recently turned to Kindle since I received it as a gift. If you purchased an ebook from someplace like Smashwords, ARe or Omni, or any number of smaller places, they offer ebooks in multi-formats and usually without DRM. That being the case, if you were to pick up a copy in mobi or a copy in epub or whatever, I honestly don't see what the big deal is if you give it to your friend and that friend slips you a few dollar in compensation. Currently there's no place to legally sell used ebooks, though some people try on Ebay or something until they get in trouble.
If you purchased your books at Amazon or B&N or any other place that has a proprietary format (like .azw) and that registers whatever ebook directly to your device, you might first have to strip any DRM off the book. In which case, there is a very slim possibility that you can get in trouble. But unless you've done any kind of illegal stuff that might draw attention to you, there's not much to worry about. Or you could share your account with your friend or whoever, only they're able to see whatever past books you've purchased and they're able to use your One-Click settings to order other books.
