I'm sorry but you are completely mistaken as to what unlimited simultaneous usage means. It has nothing to do with DRM or formats... It means that if you have multiple users on your account (I have 9 personally, 2 K1's, 3 kindle for pc, 3 K2i, and an iPad) they can all read the book AT THE SAME TIME.
I am a part of a reading group also, and we have an account, purchase our reading group book, log all of our respective kindles/apps and all read it at the same time for our discussions. then we just re-register back onto our own accounts for normal stuff.

Amazon originally had a 6 device limit, which seems to have been done away with. There was a news article... I want to say a year or so ago, where a 3rd grade reading specialist teacher had bought 15 Kindles to use in the reading lab at her school. I vasguely remember something about the device limit being waived, or supplemented for her class as a trial thing.
