It eliminates time restrictions, and seems the most like loaning a print book IMO.

That said, I rarely loaned my print books. After getting books back with dogearred corners or worse, or not getting a book back at all, I stopped loaning.

For my Kindle books, the family members who read similar books as me are using devices registered to my Amazon account.
Wow! I couldn't trust family that way. Once the Kindle is registered, it can purchase books drawn from your bank account. It's not that I believe my family are dishonest. I just don't trust it to occur to them while they freely download books at my expense.

The way I'd do this lending is to purchase an old Kindle for lending purposes and sideload the books onto it, but most of my family isn't into eReaders. The daughter who is has her own.
