No, what this means is: When you download a DRM'd ebook from Amazon, the DRM on the ebook is modified to associate with the device for which you're downloading the book. If you browse to your Amazon account on the web and attempt to download an ebook to your computer, Amazon will ask you which device you're using the book for.
What this also means is that you cannot merely copy DRM'd ebook files from one device to the other. You must instead go through Amazon to redownload the file so that it can be configured for the device you're using it on.
Amazon also says that you can have each ebook installed on up to six Kindle-related devices simultaneously, though you can have unlimited devices registered to the same Amazon account.
The only way that you can copy books from one device directly to another without going through Amazon is to not have DRM on your books.
