I'm inclined to agree. I'm not a lawyer, but it does sound like you're staying within the terms of your agreement with Kobo. In a similar manner, I've got a Kindle, and my wife has installed the Kindle Android app on her phone, registered to my account. Consequently, she has access to all the books I buy from Amazon. She doesn't really like reading on it, so it's mainly there in case she finds herself stuck somewhere with nothing to read - it's better than nothing.

Sounds like my mum She has a computer so that she can see my son's photos on his website. She doesn't know how to get to any other website, and has no interest in doing so. We set her up with Skype so she can have video chats with him, but we have to call her, then she just has to click the "Answer" button.
