I would at least wait for some hint of: I wish I had my own reader for outside reading instead of the tablet. Worth considering is the DRM removal option anyway. It opens the choice of reading device and ebook store (well limited to those that can be DRM freed).
I haven't said I haven't gone down the DRM removal road, but once again, why should I have to. And for me anyway, that is more about making sure I have a usable backup of what I own, despite others disputing that ownership.

As for people buying their own reader, well normally that would be something they do for their own account, not an extra device on someone else's account. Whichever way you look at it, if we want to share with each other, we all have to buy multiple devices for multiple accounts.
