Globally: At the high cost of increasing the time it take for everything to write to everything, including the internal hard drive. I highly discourage this.
Per drive: Yes, that's OK, but I'm not sure how well XP tracks that the Kindle that you plug in is the same device next time you plug it in. I'm not sure how much I'd trust this, just use the safely remove command.
