That might not be what you want, but at least that will give you a clue.

That is true for the Kindle Keyboard but NOT for the PW or KFHD. On the PW one can go from the Home Screen to Menu \ Settings \ Device Options \ Personalize your Kindle and see the Send-to-Kindle Email address which MAY use the first part of the owners email address followed by a_##@kindle.com.

On the Kindle Fire HD one can go from the Home Screen to down swipe top \ More \ My Account and see the owner's ID AND Send-to-Email address.

Those Send-to-Email addresses can be CHANGED by the owner if he wants and may not reflect the owner's email address.

Again, the ID may NOT be the owner's name either.

Those folks giving Kindles as gifts which will remain on their accounts would be advised to CHANGE the ID's and Send-to-Email addresses AND block purchases from the Kindles for just such a situation as this.

For all we know the wife's Kindle may have even been a gift from a co-worker or other friend with legal ownership being retained by the donor. It may also be true that the interested party has reasons other than eBooks read to find out the name of the donor.
