Courtney Milan has an interesting blog post up about reader rights and ebooks.

I really do wish there was a way to share kindlebooks with friends as we do with paperbacks/hardbacks. The closest thing I could come up with is a “email to friend” function on the kindle. when you choose to email a book to a friend (with a kindle address or similar) it would then delete the book off your kindle and send to your friend, therefore you are truly passing on the book and not reproducing it.
