Don't the author/publishers of books get a little bit of money when a library book is rented? If so, I don't see the harm in renting a book from the library and downloading an electronic version of it.
When it comes right down to it, I don't think that we should be paying any more or less to authors for the luxury of reading the book in electronic format.
However, all these zany legal complications are frustrating. Clearly it is no problem to give a book away, but what about deleting an ebook after you email it to a friend? Yikes..
