If we want to both use the Kindle by alternating who gets to use the thing at any given time, I don't plan to bend to any demands made by Amazon that we first have to assign ownership to one person and abide by Amazon rules that say the other person can't pick the think up and use it. I don't think even Amazon could be that ludicrous in their rules. The Kindle is community property, owned by the marriage partnership. We don't maintain his and hers libraries on the device. Is there anybody here who actually does that???

As you said, for those who live in areas where community property is recognized (all of Canada, a relatively small part of the USA), anything purchased during the marriage belongs to both parties equally. That is one of the reasons that I feel Amazon would not try to prevent such usage when the chances are very good that their EULA/ToS/whatever would not survive a court challenge.
My wife and I have separate libraries on our Kobos since our reading interests have a relatively small overlap. I do manage importing, conversion, editing, etc. since we also have different skill sets and she is more than willing to let me sweat over the keyboard.
