The one issue I can see with this involves ADE. Each time you change out one machine for another you get a message to authorize the new Kobo as it 'remembers" only the last one used. I do not know if ADE keeps track of the specific devices you have authorized, so it knows that you are using the same two readers over and over, or if it counts each authorization toward your 6 device limit.

My husband and I each have the same ADE account, but loaded on separate computers, so his reader is authorized on his computer and mine is on my computer. We do not keep authorizing over and over again using a single installation of ADE. I have friends in a a one computer household who have decided to side load using Calibre for the same reason.

It would be a good question for someone in Adobe support.
