Kindles can only be registered with one account at a time. A Kindle can only be registered to an Amazon account if you're logged in to an Amazon account. In addition, it's possible to buy things at Amazon through a Kindle registered to an account.
One would be most unlikely to allow even a best friend that kind of access to one's Amazon account.
It seems a very reasonable policy. Anyone I trust with my account can read the books I've bought.
I would also like to see a slightly less stringent lending policy, but I can see (given easy connectivity) why unlimited serial lending to anyone in the world with another Kindle could worry the publishers.
