Two people now have the book when previously only one person did.

I have 4 Kindles with my wife using two and I use two. I buy all the eBooks from Amazon and download them to all four Kindles.
My wife reads from 2 of them and I read from 2 of them. We sometimes read the same eBook and use bookmarks so we don't get confused. If that occurs, I usually start the eBook first and then she starts later so our bookmarks can easily tell the locations.
The eBooks are merely stored in her Collection of Reading and in my Collection of Reading.
Are we in technical violation of the copyright rules or would we have to be careful that one finished entirely before the next person starts? That is usually the case anyway.
