It might be if taken literally.
But note that Fictionwise allows you to download the book to more than one physical device.
You will only read on one at a time, but you might be reading the book on a PDA while a family member reads it on your desktop. Is it against the terms of the license? Probably. Will Fictionwise
care (even assuming they know about it in the first place?) I very much doubt it.
They are far more concerned with passing the book along to someone who hasn't bought it, and will read it on a device it isn't licensed for. You
could lend one of your licensed devices to someone else to read that book on it, equivalent to lends a paper copy, but how many folks
would you lend your device to? I suspect it's a
very short list.
