I don't know...he's talking about 3-4 people, not 10. I don't see that as problematic. Books do have simultaneous device limits, 6 usually, which would prevent casual sharing. My Kindle borrows are usually on 2-3 devices, just for my use.
Back a few years ago, Kindle CS would walk users thru the "register shuffle", where you would de-register your Kindle device, and re-register it to another account, in order to download books from that account. That was before Family Sharing, that allowed accounts to be linked.
Now of course, Amazon content is removed when you de-register a Kindle. But back then, the e-ink devices kept their content when de-registered.
It's been a while since I read the current TOS. In the past, it's always been vague enough, to allow for somewhat broad interpretation.
