With a 128 Gb memory (although it would be boring having to sideload to up to 10 Kindles) or the possibility to have any number of titles listed onscreen to download, things would be different, but I have lost hope that any of these two things will ever happen.
Out of a perhaps morbid curiosity, how are you doing this and complying with Amazon's terms of service. I was under the impression that Amazon offered two ways for someone else to read your ebooks.

The first option being Family Library that allows up to two adult Amazon accounts and up to 4 teen/children accounts to be linked. The other option is the ability to lend an Amazon ebook to a friend. Sadly, once you have lent an ebook once, it is locked and can not be lent again.

What you are describing does not seem to fit either of those two options. I may be wrong and there are other options that I am not aware of in the EU but, IMNSHO, what you are describing is a fairly massive violation of Amazon's TOS. Even worse, unless every book in your Amazon cloud is public domain whether it was purchased from Amazon or other vendors, you are also condoning and promoting copyright violation on a moderately massive scale.
