You say, "since you are married you both should have legal access to the other account". I don't see how our marital status has anything to do with my contractual relationship with Amazon. I don't recall seeing anything in their terms & conditions that treat married couples differently from individuals (I might be wrong, of course).
But you're right that we could share books by de-registering and re-registering. If this was an on-going problem, we'd probably have registered to the same account in the first place. But it's unusual for us to want to share a book. Our reading tastes are quite different.

Thanks Harry.
My understanding is that the accounts you set up with Amazon can be shared with family. Since you are married, you should be able to share an account with your wife. If the accounts, and therefore the books, were meant to be used by only one person why would they sell a book with six liscences? I know that we now have the option of reading on multiple devices but when I got my K1 that was not the case and I still was able to buy a book with six devices.
Many people share accounts with family members. I know folks who share an account with friends. I have my Mother and Father on my account. I don't know anyone who has been told by Amazon that they cannot share an account. I know parents who register their kids Kindles to their account to add books and then deregister the Kindles. They do this on a regular basis, to prevent their kids from being able to download on their own or use the internet, and Amazon has not said anything.
I guess you are the first person I have run across who does not think it is ok to share an account.
