I would think that the difference is paying for your copy. If you were to make copies of you physical book and give it to your family/friend that would be the illegal part. Letting people borrow your copy is just like the library. If you had an electronic version and did not make copies but rather let your family/friends use the original that would be fine. I all stats with the "copying" issue. If it cost just as much or more to make a copy of an electronic version nobody would do that. Just like you are not going to copy the physical book. Cost prohibitive.
