Books have a great advantage over eBooks:
The medium (paper, in this case) always comes along with the text. So you will always have as much "analog reading devices" as you have texts. What you are lending to another person is this "analog reading devices", because this is the one you bought, not the content.
Conveniently enough they can't be divided, so it doesn't really matter. But it's a matter of perception and understanding to comprehend this concept.
People - like you - have to understand that they always have paid for the media, never for the content. You buy the book, not the text. You buy the CD, not the game, software or music. You buy the DVD or Blueray Disc, not the movie.
Neither the game, the software, the music nor the movie are free for you to do as you please. So why should eBooks be?
And all this "knowledge" (sorry, most of the time we are talking about entertainment, right? So, at least be honest and do't try to argue with high ideals, will you?) is free. It just isn't for free.
