I have a Kindle question, might be more for those that own one. The family and I were talking last night, we're all avid readers, and we came to the conclusion that in an ideal world we would end up buying 3 of whatever ereader we purchase. Just would be fair for one person to get an ereader and no one else to and just one ereader would be a pain for us to share around.

We have enough problems fighting over a new release when it comes out to determine who gets to read it when (fortunately I usually win first read due to speed and the $$ that paid for the book in the first place) When Deathly Hallows came out we actually purchased 2 copies as the best way to prevent bloodshed.

So this comes to the question, if one amazon account were to purchase three Kindles would all three have access to the same purchased content? Would a book purchased once be available on all three or would a book have to purchased once for each Kindle? I read through the content on Amazon and I couldn't find the answer to this question.
