Now, if you're buying DRM-free ebooks...well, back to your regular programming, already in progress.
I put the books I had on my pro duo card and found (to my understanding)that even though another person could read the books on that card on another reader, the books I buy are linked to my credit card number. Can she take the books off my memory card and put them in her Sony library? I am not quite sure and that is up to her discretion; if she just wants to read my books I see no problem with that. Now if I were stripping the DRM and putting my e-books online I see the issue. Obviously. But this woman is someone I trust and besides, she couldn't strip them and put them online b/c she would need my credit card # to do so, which she does not have. This is strictly for her to read, not to redistribute.
