An ereader is a personal device. Most retail ebooks (other than from a few smaller retailers which don't have the big six publishers) have DRM. The DRM is either Amazon's or Adobe, though a 3rd system is some countries from Readium.
The only two really viable solutions are:
1) Remove the DRM. It's evil anyway as it doesn't stop pirates and limits the honest buyer. You can "lose" a DRM infested book if the seller closes or the device fails.
2) Get a device each. A Kindle if you mainly use the Amazon store, or a Kobo if using main retailers that are not Amazon.
Doing both of these is best.
A third option is to have only one person buy the ebooks.
There are about 100,000 DRM free, actually free, Public domain ebooks on the Internet (the author has been dead long enough for Disney). Also Smashwords store and some others never have DRM.
