You can have up to 6 Kindles registered to the same account, and books may be shared amongst them. The catch is that they all must be on the same account, and all must use the same credit card for purchases.

So if you trust Tim with access to you amazon purchasing account, there is no reason why he cannot download a (free) version of the kindle reader to his pc/mac/iphone/ipad/blackberry/android phone and read away to his hearts delight.

The publishers are the ones who restrict the number of users. On some ebooks the number you can share with might be lower.

That’s a damn shame for the charity shops I regularly give bags full of books to (and also regularly buy from for my Dad). Someone had a vote about the concept of ownership and turned it into leasing, but I must have been on holiday at the time because I missed it.
