Actually no, they can't. If someone has your device, they can download to the device any of your books. They can buy books new books, and download them. But, the delete will only put them in the archive section of the library. I can't see a way to delete them completely from the account using the device.

Thinking about this, if you don't store the credit card, the worse thing that someone can do is criticise your taste in books. And maybe mess up the recommendation by buying something you wouldn't read. Actually, the worse thing they can do is mess with the annotations and collections for the purchased books.
