The problem is, though, that with an ebook, you're not lending it to your friends; you're making an additional copy of it, and giving that copy to your friends. In paper book terms, it would be the equivalent of making a photocopy of a book, and giving your friends that photocopy.
I agree that the ability to resell digital content would be desirable, but the practicalities of the situation make it difficult to do.
