The difference between HarryT's and your scenario is this.

HarryT and his friend are two different and independent people. To Amazon, you and your wife are one person, as (I assume) all Kindles are registered to one account.

You (your account) has the rights to put a book on 6 (IIRC?) devices that belong to the same person or household, and are all in the same account. Therefore you're doing nothing worng.

Technically, you *could* put your Kindle, your wife's, your mother's and those of three friends accross the globe into one account. Technically, that would be cheating, making misuse of the account. However, there is no way for Amazon to check for this scenario, apart from coming to your house to check and see if all the Kindles are actually there.
