My mom could purchase from the Paperwhite, but she doesn't understand much aside basic use for reading. My DIL could buy I suppose, but she doesn't. My husband can buy what he wants, although he usually leaves the actual buying to me.

I know the limits, but what you are essentially saying, unless you are lucky with the Family option, is that all those devices belong to the same account? That each member of you family does not have their own account, or if they do, they have another device for it? Each device can only be linked to one account.
So in reality each person in your family can buy whatever ebooks via their device any time they want, and it all gets charged to the one account. That is not the norm and certainly would not work in many households and added complications if not under the same roof etc etc.

It seems to me, for all your long winded posts, that you actually know very little about e-books.

A silly assumption to make based on not giving enough information about your setup in the first place. Your situation from what I have come across, is far from the norm.

I read many books that stretch my knowledge. I can't imagine never needing a dictionary. I suppose if light fiction were all I read, I could get along without one. I never went to collage...I married at 18 and raised 4 kids as a stay-at-home mom. Reading has been the base of most of my book learnin'.

Good on ya.
I likewise agree I have learnt a lot from books ... many of them surprise surprise ... fiction stories.
