Amazon have licensing terms. I asked them about those terms, and they told me how they interpreted them. "You may authorize any one you wish to read it, but that person's device must be registered to your account to do so." That's good enough for me.
This is exactly what I was talking about in my post, Harry. Amazon allows it, so by extension, the publishers do as well. If the granter of the license allows it, how in the world can it be unethical?
