"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 live in a retirement home and I'll often lend a Kindle to a neighbor with a book on it he/she wants to read. In this unit there are only 16 apartments and another 16 a couple blocks away so this isn't a big issue. But if I was in a larger place with hundreds of tenants that kind of limit would make a lot of sense.
By the way, lest anyone think I'm defrauding Amazon by doing this I have discussed it with their support people and they say this is a common practice and they really don't care, within reason. They say their TOS is there to prevent abuse.
