Maybe it's something about it being more difficult to clone a whole device than to create a jailbreak code that mimics attachment to a certain account?
It's just funny when you think about the concerns that both Amazon and the publishers have over "sharing" of different types. Seems quite silly how much they care. They are not paying publishers per device. I think if it were soley up to Amazon they would sell the books drm free like they do on their music side for mp3 files. I think it is the publishers who are insisting on DRM and limiting the number of devices linked to an account at one time. The publishers are afraid of a napster or where a book club would by 1 copy of the book and register dozens of kindles to a single account instead of each member buying their own copy.
Nov 16, PM. Amazon probably isn't too worried about that because it requires giving someone else your username and password and how many people are you going to do that with? I don't think I have any friends I'd give my password to. I'd be willing to share it with family but I'm not going to share with the world.
But a book club could set up a stand alone account and fund it with a gift card in the exact amount of their monthly book purchase. They don't even have ever to give out their amazon user name and password. The owner would just ask for everyone's kindle device I'd and register them on the website.
The only time someone needs the password is to login on the web or to register a kindle through the kindle settings menu. Actually, as I understand it Amazon has at times advertised that benefit to book clubs. I don't give my password out to the world, but there is a limitation to what someone can do with it anyway. Sure, they could order something I don't want. But I get the email notifying me - -and then I call amazon and get it refunded and I change my password.
There are not huge ramifications to it. But, still it is a sensitive ownership issue and I only give it to someone who I know and trust and who reciprocates -- like my mom, dad, a neighbor, and two other friends. Jan 02, AM. I was unaware that I had two accounts, and tried to register my iPad to an account - was then instructed to to de-register the device from another account. When I did so, all archived books were deleted, and I could not access them in the registered account.

Monday, January 4, Sharing Kindle books on one account.
When the device is registered to that owner's account, the understanding is that the account owner owns the device. This arrangement involves a lot of trust as the others sharing the account can purchase a Kindle book while the account owner pays for it. I've mentioned in an earlier article that some take care of this with reimbursements via Paypal if the account owner has no interest in the book someone sharing that account ordered.
