From my experience, it’s a copyright thing. Publishers limit the number of copies of ebooks that you can have on different devices under the same name/ID. To complicate this further, publishers also limit the number of books/files that you can transfer to another ID. Many cannot be “lent” at all. The expectation is that the other person/ID has to purchase their own copy. It sound like this is the issue here. It does not matter where you purchased the ebook.
