I will share with my husband, no one else. Where possible, I do it legitimately through the Amazon household/family program. However, as we are a Kobo/Kindle household, and I prefer to buy on Kobo, on rare occasion, I'll strip DRM from my purchase, and then send it to his Kindle.

I think it gets very iffy sharing with friends or non-household family, because they can be so easily tempted to share with their friends, and so on, so forth. Plus, by sharing with them, you kind of set the example that it's "OK" when such sharing can impact an author's earnings.

I absolutely know my husband isn't the sort to share books. His family aren't readers, he really doesn't have close friends. He does no social media. And he's just too lazy to be bothered.

Now, if I like a book, and think a friend would enjoy it, I might sometimes gift them a copy if they have a Kindle. Or, recommend they look for it amongst their library's ebook offerings.
