Your ability to lend out your paper book is based more than anything else on the way the physical universe works.
Your ability to lend out your DRM'd eBook is based on how Sony's CEO felt after reading the last quarterly sales report.

That cage comment seems to describe Apple hardware users much more than Epub users. You should read on, I said this was a stepping stone to a DRM free world. Of course, I would prefer DRM free books and full resale rights. That won't happen very soon, so Epub seems to be the best interim solution to me. Just pointing out that you can lend DRMed ebooks, and that usage rights for lending are more generous than for pbooks. We should alsways be fair. Anyway, it was not my intent to start yet another thread of why we have DRM!
Besides, for all practical purposes Epub is DRM free, if you so desire.
And you can authorize 5 devices with Sony LRX, even though Sony's CEO has been feeling VERY bad after every quarterly sales report for almost 2 years, now.
