Let's say that I tend to be most productive at unusual times.

Probably yes. The Kindle is designed to be a consumer product, and a "single-user" one. It wasn't developed with too many security concerns (regarding the user accessing it) in mind, and in principle, I agree with that philosophy (note: for this kind of device).
Supporting true multi-user mode would be a tremendous effort, and the inherently required added complexity could easily scare away the average user.
So: don't give your Kindle to people that you don't trust. For device access control, use the built-in device PIN protection. For restricting access to a specific item, use this patch. For completely hiding the "Read and Masturbate" item from the UI, vaniaspeedy's hack might, or might not, be the solution (I admit I never tried it).
In any case, don't
rely on any of these methods for your privacy. All of them can be easily circumvented by simply plugging the Kindle into a computer.
