So even if you get the book at 100% off the price you still don't have the right to pass it on to someone else. If the readers are all in one family (husband/wife/kids) then the sharing might be overlooked (I don't know for sure) but you can't just pass on a copy to someone else (a friend or co-worker say). That is why Amazon has the 'lend' feature for books that you buy from them I think. And I think you can only 'lend' each book once, to one person at most.

Yes, you are correct on Amazon lending.
