So in the future you can only lend books if you have a device with internet access and a browser, so no more ebook lending for older ebook readers.
The story in danish can be found here:

Is anyone surprised?
Publishers want the reader to pay for the experience of going into a closed surveillanced room with no paper or pen or other recording devices, read the book once, and that is it.
And people with good memories should pay more!
