It "matters" in the sense that, unless you physically lend somebody your eBook reader, copyright law prevents you from "lending" somebody an eBook, but does not prevent you from lending someone a paper book. It is of course the same law, but it applies in the eBook case because the "act" of lending generally involves making a copy.
