This is an interesting legal question - is the hard copy just a license? If so, seems to me a digital copy is fine so long as you don't sell it without giving the license at the same time (the book).
As for iBooks, I think that's perhaps the most restrictive DRM books options one can buy today.
Many kindle ebooks CAN be loaned.
But the resale of ebooks is going to be an interesting legal issue in the near future. Fr example, what happens to the rights to my ebooks when I pass away? Can I will them like other property?
