Two people have always been able to read the same book at the same time from the same account. My husband and I each have our own Kobos. We share one Kobo account and one ADE account. I don't have the new reader yet, but these have been some points to consider all along.
If you are syncing, you will be in bookmark he!! if two people are syncing to the same account. If one person removes a book from the reader, it will be removed from the other reader as well on the next sync. The new user guide says that if you remove the book from the reader, it is removed from your account--not sure what that actually means.
If you are using ADE for ePUBs, then you both need to be using not just the same Kobo account, but the same ADE account. Only one ADE account can be live on a reader at a time--you will show locked content on books loaded using the other ADE.
You will probably want to have ADE on two machines so that you are not having to authorize and reauthorize each time you switch out a reader. The locked content still applies, but you will not risk running out of authorizations for ADE (six devices, six computers).
Consider using Calibre to actually load the ADE encrypted ePUB books onto one of the readers. The locked content issue is the same, but you will not run out of authorizations for devices.
