You can fight it to a point, but that just ruffles everyone's feathers.
As stated elsewhere along this topic, sometimes author's have a moral viewpoint that lending books to complete strangers using the internet violates the spirit of the feature. Look at it from their point of view - they want readers' family and friends to benefit from the lend, but not the wider internet.
Sure, there isn't anything legally wrong with lending books to complete strangers, but working with the author and respecting their wishes can (maybe) generate goodwill that could have avoided getting LendInk taken down in the first place. That said, I don't operate an e-book lending site, so I may be way off base here. Considering that many authors wanted LendInk taken down (and later apologized for it), that's certainly possible.
Anyways, at a minimum, you could provide them with a direct link to their book's admin page on Amazon (if that's possible), instructing them how to disable the lending feature, re-iterating that you'll of course remove their book from the site when they do so.
