We don't i we just take them or distribute them without the owners permission. Why do we need a contract to rent a car. We could sahre it by hotwiring it and driving it for a day and bring it back.
A contract is just a standardized agreement. a lot of implicit agreements can result in unpleasant legal consequences for those who break them, such as shoplifting, dine and dash etc.
Thunderbolts will descend on my head I am sure, but if you want to share that ebook and expect approval do it the right way. Lend them your reader, sign them up to your account, find them a copy at their library. If you don't trust them with your reader or account and can't be bothered to look up the book for them, then recommend the book and they can get their own copy. The world will probably not end for them or for you.
