Family and friends share lots of books with each other.

The Kindle would put an end to that.

I have a Nook (Barnes and Noble’s brand) and has a “Lend Me” function that allows for book sharing.

“Family and friends share lots of books with each other.

That is one reason I got a Nook (from Barnes and Noble). If you buy an e-book from B&N you can “lend” it to another person for up to 14 days. Another reason is that I can buy e-books from other eReader sellers like Sony and upload them onto my Nook, and I can share those books with others as well.

Not really. I think there is provision for “sharing” books.
Its just clumsier...
