I stopped loaning out paper books when I 1. didn't get them back. 2. got the book back all messed up!
No one has ever asked me to lend them an ebook, but if they did, I probably would do so. If I pay for it, it is mine to do as I wish. I don't really care about what the publishers want, which is to make as much money as possible. They put DRM in place to keep the buyers of their books from putting their purchases on whatever devices they want. They expect you to buy a new book for each device....screw them. Morality doesn't exists for the publishers, why should it exist for the purchasers?!
