There's clearly a whole continuum of different actions we could be talking about here. Lending my friend Joe a Kindle with a single book on it for a few days isn't the same thing as giving Joe a Kindle for his permanent use with access to my entire ebook library, and that in turn isn't the same as giving Kindles to half a dozen different friends or relatives.
Joe could quite legitimately have access to my ebook library through the "Amazon Household" system, which allows two adults and up to four children to access each other's content. If you're going considerably beyond the limits of what "Amazon Household" permits, it's difficult to see how this can be reconciled with the idea that content is licensed for personal use only.
