The catch here is that when you lend something, that means you do not have access to it while the person you lent it to is using it. There is only one instance of the file at a time. If you can figure out a way to do that with eBooks, then technically it should be legal.

I think libraries manage it by making the DRM expire after the lending period. IE, you "borrow" an eBook for 2 weeks, and after that time the DRM on that eBook expires and you can't access it anymore. Then somebody else can "borrow" the eBook. There's a controlled number of them "in circulation" at any point in time.
