2. You pick the books you want from A's account. (Now you're looking through his shelves)
3. You load the books you want on your kindle. (Showing the stack of books you want)

Now there's one step I haven't tried out which would be the final one:

4. Deregister the kindle (Leave the house)

Supposedly the books remain readable, you just won't be able to load them from amazon again...

So the open questions are:
1. What happens if you deregister, according to several posts about stolen kindles et al, a deregistered kindle can still read the books loaded, but can't load more.
2. What happens if you re-register the kindle to your own account, are the books still readable?
Surely you mean:
1) Install Kindle for PC on (A)s account
2) Download books
3) Skindle
4) Email book to (B)

Or have I misunderestimated something. I'm of course not suggesting piracy, however, there's no benefit in pretending you are not pirating books just because you've found a convoluted method of doing it.
