I think there may perhaps have been some confusion on the CS rep's part on what the term "Simultaneous Device Usage" means on its own, versus what it might possibly distinguish when "Unlimited" is appended to it on a product description, instead of a set numerical limit or no such details at all, in much the way that a lack of file size in kb and only a Print Length listing in pages on a Kindle book seems to consistently mean that it comes in the dreaded Topaz format.
In any case, it doesn't really matter to me, since due to the extra $2 Whispernet surcharge on non-freebies for non-US Kindlers, I prefer to get books via other stores if I can, and have yet to actually pay for any ebooks from Amazon itself, though I expect that will change eventually if there's something I truly want that I can't get elsewhere.
And I'd be a filthy DRM-stripper anyway (still legal to "break digital locks" in Canada, despite the best efforts of our useless sellout Heritage Minister), so it's a moot point.
