You would have to have a virtual brace of books. And I suppose you could theoretically, were you determined to stray into Improper Avenue, perhaps ask for a fee for another transfer of the download, thereby creating yet another "book". And so on.
And if, like me you have, for example, solely for personal use, a "travelling" reader (350), a home-based reader (650), and the T1 the most heavily used, in every other circumstance, and the most used - that's 3 "books" altogether.
Blimey, what a tangled web.....

In my case, I'm the only one who actually "keeps" any copy, as the other two family members are "read and bin" inclined, whereas I like to keep those I really enjoyed/found particularly interesting and would read again.

In my book-lined library.

But - just a thought - does the authority to download to another 5 devices raise another question: was it originally envisaged that "sharing" [not for profit] would happen ?
And it was accepted as a factor i.e. simply the equivalent of sharing a physbook once you'd read it ?
Or did "they" just assume/hope everyone would accumulate 6 readers !?

Mmm..............
