How does Amazon check on how many kindles I upload a book?
Yes. A Kindle's s/n is registered to an Amazon account. This is similar to Mobi DRM... but they allow 6 s/ns to be registered at the same time. If you d/l a book that is encrypted to one of your registered Kindles, that kindle will be able to read that book.

Actually, they don't know how many kindles you d/l the book too. Unless you use Whispernet... I assume that is logged somewhere... but probably not stored for to long.

Sure, it just won't work because that reader won't be able to decrypt it.
