Actually Harry, there is a way (physically - not necessarily legally). When you download the ebook originally, you could download it directly to a memory card & then give that memory card to someone thus not having made a second copy.

Of course one could argue that viewing that ebook on any device (most probably) would store a temporary copy in the RAM of that device (if wanted to pick nits).
