Ebooks are not pbooks; different rules apply. And your analogy fails anyway, since when you lend a pbook you no longer have access to it.

Sharing ebooks is piracy. We don't allow justification of piracy here. So, if you're going to do it, please don't talk about it or make it obvious that's the kind of help you're asking for.
