I am about to start a small project in a local school. 16 Kindles. We don't need all the kids to have the same books at the same time. It is my understanding that most (not all) books have a 6 device limit, BUT that once a kid is done with the book it can be deleted from that device then downloaded to a different device. I got this straight from an Amazon rep. So this is the equivalent of your buying the eBook actually means you've got 6 copies of it, and a copy can be passed on to a different person once one is done with it.
Of course, if the idea is to have a textbook that everyone is using, then I guess you'd need to have as many accounts as (# of students divided by 6 [or however many devices that book is allowed to be on]) and then register 6 Kindles to each account, and buy a copy of the book for each account. That scenario *does* seem to be within the legal and allowed parameters for Kindles and books for Kindles, as far as I can tell.
But for the scenario like mine where you are essentially setting up a lending library, they can all be registered to the same account and if more kids want the book than copies are allowed to be on devices, you'd just have to have a waiting list of some sort.
