I contacted SW regarding this and their response was you can share your ereader, computer, phone, tablet with others but you cannot make a separate file to share with others. That would require making a copy.
When I specifically asked if I needed to buy another ebook copy for my spouse to read, SW said yes
unless you hand her your ereader. This will not violate the T&C. Sharing in this case means file sharing not device sharing.
