Would we have to 30 amazon accounts one for each Kindle..... what a pain!

I'm sure you'd agree that it's unreasonable, and hardly fair to either the author or the publisher, to buy just one copy of a book and read it on 30 readers simultaneously.
Steveaudus if a publisher allows a book to be on up to 6 Kindles at once, then you would need to buy it five times in order for it to go on 30 Kindles. You would need 5 Amazon accounts. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

Agreed, that is completely unacceptable.
