The reason I ask is that I am trying to figure out how this works out for households. I don't have a problem using a common credit card number for my spouse and any offspring, but I certainly don't want to use a single username (eg. B&N account). This is one of the things that really put me off the Kindle; although they allow you to put the content on up to 6 devices (so enough for most families), it all has to be linked to a sole Amazon account.

Assuming it works like the current eReader DRM, when you first add a book you will be asked for the name and credit card used to purchase the book, and this will unlock the book for that device. Subsequent books will be automatically unlocked using this name and credit card, and you will only be prompted if you need to enter a different name/credit card.
