Sorta no, unless you only want access to your daughter's book/books for awhile. Adobe DRM "marks" your books with your ADE account information. On the Kobo, you can only have one ADE account active at a time. Content added using the original ADE account will be locked. So, for example, if I normally use my own account and then add a book my son obtained through his account, all of my own books will be locked and unreadable. Now, I can read my son's book, and then delete it, and I believe, all will be well, again. The account on the last book added to the reader controls what the reader will show as unlocked.

I have not tried this with an SD card, so one issue might be the dates on the files and which book is seen as "last" when you have main memory books and SD card books. Maybe someone else can comment on that part.
