Regarding lawfulness and selfishness... I can see a number of scenarios here, and I do have to wonder.
Let's say I've bought a Kindle book and want my mother, who lives with me, to read it as well. <snip various scenarios>

Perfect examples, and why I wish Amazon would introduce some kind of ebook lending. I share my Amazon account with my Mum for her ease of use, but we only rarely share ebooks since we don't really have the same tastes. I've 'shared' a few ebooks with an uncle though. A very specific range of titles we both share an interest in, if they'd been physical books we'd swap them between us, and to an extent we do the same with ebooks. The only difference is while the physical book would be passed on to someone else or donated to a charity shop, church sale etc, the ebook doesn't go any further. It's wrong but we do share occasionally....
