Sure, that I know.

You are making an assumption that a license is tied to a device and it remains tied to that device even if the device is de-registered. I'm not saying this is wrong, I'm just asking where this is in the TOS?
I also notice the "number of devices" that used to be listed on Kindle books no longer seems to be there. At least not in the 5 or so books I just spot checked.
The current TOS that I see says:
Use of Digital Content. Upon your download of Digital Content and payment of any applicable fees (including applicable taxes), the Content Provider grants you a non-exclusive right to view, use, and display such Digital Content
an unlimited number of times, solely on the Kindle or a Reading Application or as otherwise permitted as part of the Service, solely on the
number of Kindles or Other Devices specified in the Kindle Store, and solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Digital Content is licensed, not sold, to you by the Content Provider. The Content Provider may include additional terms for use within its Digital Content. Those terms will also apply, but this Agreement will govern in the event of a conflict. Some Digital Content, such as Periodicals, may not be available to you through Reading Applications.
