Amazon Kindle supports multiple readers with one account; so does Adobe ADE. There is nothing wrong with owning two Kindles and loaning one out and having the the same titles on each. There's nothing wrong with owning two Kobos and loading each up with ADE ePubs and loaning one out.

You don't need to go through hoops or break any laws or void and contracts with the vendors.

Piracy with the masses begins not so much a desire to act out bad behaviour as it does either a) rebelling against stupid policies b) creating a larger supply of a scarce resource.

To handle a) - Publishers need to ensure they are delivering value across the creation/consumption chain to all parties feed it -- with content and with purchase dollars.

To handle b) - Publishers simply have to make their backlists available at reasonable prices and piracy of those titles will dwindle.
