current eink readers and tablets aren't yet able to differentiate between two human beings using said device. as far as Kobo / ADE is concerned, John Smith owns 2 or more devices, one in the bedroom and the other in the living room. when John Smith buys a book, using device A, it'll show up on device B. John Smith is also able to own multiple computers, and have the same ADE account set up on both.
when Jenny Smith grabs one of the readers, the reader doesn't know that it isn't John Smith, so it just shows all the books that JS had loaded. when Jenny goes through 15 pages, and John picks up the other reader, he'll see that "he" is 15 pages ahead from where he last remembers being.
there's no DNA lock or retinal (or rectal) scan done yet to authenticate you and only you and only you and none of your offspring.
and yeah, you can organize shelves (or collections, actually) so that the romance books are in one group, the thrillers in another, the comics in yet another. i think the "collections" is what you'll want to use. it appears to sync between eink reader (my Glo) and android (my 7HD and 10HD).
