There was an article in the New York Times recently about sharing e-books and it caused quite the discussion on Twitter and in the blogosphere. I direct you to the post at Dear Author for a recap and lengthy discussion of the entire event. One thing that came out of the article and following discussion is that if you own a Kindle, you are allowed to download a book SIX times.
