Yes, but he said he has 3 readers, mentioned his son. I was assuming the same household and that he probably bought/paid from them all, so does own them.

I certainly wouldn't authorize your reader for my account.

Also, the bottom line is that you can share ebooks with any other device or software, so being able to lend a book once to someone is more than you get elsewhere. I do agree though that B&N made more of this "feature" than is really there.
