In the one example I saw where someone had trouble with Amazon DRM, Amazon refunded the customer.
I'm going to look into this, but I 'm betting that Amazon either offered a refund or offered to let the customer download the books again in the new format on proof of payment.
Stay tuned.

You can de-register specific hardware kindles from your account (happens all the time with returns).
As for the assorted "Kindle For" apps, there's an option on the Amazon site to de-register those as well. So, if your PC hard drive dies and you install the app on your new drive, you can remove the old version and keep your totals in check. Much better than expecting you to remove it from the system side (as required by other DRM schemes I've dealt with in the past).
I've had at least 10 (probably more) Kindle "devices" on my account, but never more than 4 at a time. I can still download and open every book I own on my latest PC install (earlier today).
