Different things require different rules.

I can't speak to illegal sharing. But using the legal sharing methods, there should be a way to both lend out books as often as you want, and prevent you from sharing over the internet to people you only meet through online marketplaces -- while at the same time marking the book as "lent" so you cannot read it.
The current implementation only does #3 (and a tiny fraction of #1).
The implementation I suggested would elegantly encompass all three, and since you would share in the same manner that you share pbooks -- by meeting the person and handing over the book -- I can see t working out.
It is a pity Amazon didn't talk to me first.
