This IS an odd one. I wonder if the legality/enforceability of this condition has ever been tested in any jurisdiction? It seems that if I physically hand my Kobo to my wife to read a book I purchased, I would be breach of the T&Cs, which is bizarre, really. And a VERY good test of how scrupulously one observes rules when the breaking of them is utterly, literally undetectable.
