Is there any real difference to my buying an eBook, putting it on my Reader, reading it, loaning my wife my Reader so she can then read that book vs. my putting a copy of that eBook on my Wife's Reader so she can read it without having to wait until I am done reading it?

The only real difference is that she doesn't have to wait for me to finish. If I didn't strip DRM, I have enough slots in the DRM scheme that I could put it on her Reader with DRM anyway.

Does anyone have any objection to scenario #1 and/or #2? You know it happens and you know it will continue to happen. I cannot think of many household that would buy multiple copies of the same book (e or p) and not share it if others in the house also wanted to read it.
