I'm jumping into this late, but my understanding is it would be legal to loan an ebook to someone else if it's the original - i.e. if you do not copy it, but actually delete it from your computer/ereader while the other person has it, and they remove it from their computer if/when you get it back. Comparing it to paper books, you can give them the book to read, but you can't photocopy the pages and give them the copies.
