I agree completely. I suspect we all interpret a little differently based on our own needs and circumstances...which is why lawyers have jobs.
I can see interpreting the lending one of my registered devices to a friend to be a personal use. I've purchased the device and the content, and the number of readers of that copy is still limited by the number of registered devices I own, no matter whose hands they are in. That's not commercial use, and it isn't an organized group sharing an account and a device.
I'd guess that most people interpret (correctly or not) doing anything with a device that they would have done with a paper book as being just fine.
