In any case, I have removed the "single Kindle" reference in the original post.
I am pretty sure that you're wrong on this. I can download a file to my laptop. I know that I can make multiple copies of that file on CDs, flash drives, etc. What would stop me from making a copy on several SD cards and sticking one in each of several Kindles registered on an account?

I don't actually have several Kindles, but this makes sense to me because it is basically the same procedure as Mobipocket.
