If you want a second book, you have to buy a second book.

If you want a second license for devices that do not correspond to the first account, you have to buy a second license for the devices corresponding to the other account.
Anyone who modifies the first file in such a way that it can also be displayed by devices without an account is acting against the letters of the law as well as against the spirit.
And also completely irresponsible - what if the reader is lost or even stolen and the files it contains are unprotected!

Nope. The spirit of the law is that only the person who bought the license shall read the book. The device and the modifying part is the letter of the law. For you they're one and the same, that's why I said you can't understand the difference.
As for losing the reader, you can put a password on it. And it doesn't matter whether the files on my lost Kindle/Kobo are DRMed or not, they're readable anyway to anyone who finds the device. And they can be deDRMed by anyone who gets their hands on the device.
