I share books with my 87 year old mother who would not know how to share them with anyone else. Her kindle is registered to my account.
I do not think it is wrong to allow someone else to read your ebook as long as you are 100% sure they cannot/will not share your ebook with someone else. But probably I am ethically wrong on that.
For example if I email a copy of an ebook to a friend, and they in turn email a copy to two friends, who then email a copy to two friends, soon there are a exponential amount of copies of your copy in circulation.
Not intentional piracy per se, but the end result is pretty similiar.
