Hi Nate,
David is the Public Service side of this project and he wanted me to post this reply for him:

Enabling and disabling the credit card would be a nightmare. Our corporate credit card is so tightly controlled you'd think it was plutonium. Enabling and disabling purchases on the Amazon account would work, if Amazon gave us an easy way to do this.

The second point about all the Kindles getting the content simultaneously doesn't hold up. All the titles on the account show up under Content Manager, whether they're on the device or not. We do, however, have the ability to download given titles only to the unit(s) we wish.

cheers,
DD
