Hopefully you have no issue with lending through approved mechanisms,
None whatsoever.

Nothing against it personally, but it MAY be against the T&C of the bookstore IF they sell you the book licence for your personal use only.

On a related note, just out of curiosity, what would you think about someone stripping DRM from one of their ebooks, loaning a copy to a friend, NOT retaining any copy for themselves, getting a promise from the friend to delete their copy when they are done reading, and only obtaining a new accessible copy for themselves after the friend reports they have done as promised?
Call me cynical, but I would never trust someone to do that, simply because I don't think I'd do it myself. The temptation to keep it would be too great.
