I've no qualms at all about Kindles in the same household being read by multiple family members, Duckie. It's when you start "lending" devices outside the household that, for me personally, the ethics become questionable.

Amazon also have a "family sharing" facility, allowing content from different accounts to be shared between two adults and up to four children at the same address.
