Yeah it's a problem, but there are simple workarounds. In my case, it consists of telling my sons that they have to deauthorize once they've downloaded a book from my account. Another would involve the judicious use of notes & bookmarks.
I also wonder how WS works when people have separate accounts. If A buys a book, then B - who has a separate account - links to A's account, downloads the book to his iPhone & iPad, then deauthorizes, will B's account then sync the book for B's devices?
