"Here friend, have this device of mine for free, and while you are at it, use one-click purchase for any ebooks you want." .... not bloody likely is it, truly ludicrous!
I can think of scenarios where this could occur, say with a book club. Someone sets up an account for the club and buys the book of the month using a gift card. Everyone in the club then installs the Kindle app on their own device, signs into that account and reads the book. That situation would be even more likely for students and textbooks.
