Then register my new PRS700 under my true details which are now unique since I changed my original registration. Since Sony allows 5 ebook devices registered to one PC this should not be a problem. Now, in effect, I have become a LIBRARY which is perfectly legal!

That won't work. Because if you did loan your account to someone, you'd also be loaning the ability to purchase eBooks on your credit card. And if you did keep access to the account and got this other person to change the details, you'd then have access to this other person's credit card to purchase eBooks. It's a bit FAIL as far as I can see.
