Answers.Body: <p>I review books for my blog and I offer my readers my <a href="http://www.greatsexpectations.org/-book-reviews.html" rel="nofollow">library</a> to get the copy of the book themselves if they so choose. I did this by going to <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5110234.Hillary_Marek" rel="nofollow">Goodreads</a>and syncing my purchased amazon books then using the free widget to put my goodreads library onto my website. It is one easy option until you find a better.</p>

Body: <p>My employer maintains a small library of technical books for developers. If there's a book we think would be useful for us, we typically buy a number of copies and place them in the library, where the employees can borrow them.</p>
  
  <p>This works well for paperbooks, but with more and more people wanting to use ereaders or tablets to read, we are looking for a solution that solves the same problem, but for ebooks.</p>

  If we were to ignore legal issues, we could simply set up calibre on a machine with the web-interface running, and add books when purchased. However, I believe this would at the very least land us in some very grey areas legally speaking.</p>
