Yes, you can give someone your eBook, but it depends on the eBook's licensing and format. If it's DRM-free, you can share or transfer the file directly. For DRM-protected eBooks, you'll likely need to use the platform's sharing feature, which may have limitations. Always check the specific eBook's terms of service to ensure compliance with any sharing restrictions.
