Reading a book purchased elsewhere on a Kindle is not breaking any law in any jurisdiction. Please do not spread misinformation.
Whether removing the DRM from an ebook for personal use is against any law (criminal or civil) anywhere has not yet been demonstrated in court.
It is true that allowing anyone other than the purchaser (even a spouse) to read an ebook purchased at Kobo is against Kobo's terms and conditions.
This does not apply to ebooks purchased at Amazon, as Amazon's terms and conditions allow anyone to read a purchased ebook, provided it is through the Family library facility, or is on a Kindle registered to the original account.
I recommend that the OP gets a Kindle. Then it will be easy to share books with their spouse (through a Family Library).
