If you really want to use both on the same account, you might be able to
just copy your User data into her "KoboReader.sqlite" file. Not sure it would
work, but it would be reversible. Just save a copy of her KoboReader.sqlite
file before you modify it.

The problem is that if account A buys book X, person on account B cannot download X automatically on her device. So person with account B will have to download the epub version, and sideload that one.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, two persons with the same account will have their highlights/bookmarks syncronised, so if we are reading the same book and you are on page 10 while I am on the last chapter, it is posisble that next time we open either I am plunged back to page 10, or you are propelled forward to the last chapter.
