Most books can be sent to 6 devices and some are unlimited.
Now there are a few books that because of the uploaded format they are only compatible with certain devices.
As of right now there are 9 or 10 kindles and apps for Android, Apple and PC.
Or you can do what many here do, convert their books with Calibre.

There is ALSO a degree of DRM, not just the "format compatibility". You cannot directly transfer a book from a kindle to a new kindle, even if it's the same model. You must have amazon send it anew, with encoding for the serial number (I think) of the new kindle. You can also find an ApprenticeAlf plugin to allow Calibre to dis-encode it, so that different kindles of your own can still read the book.
Again, this says nothing about applications. I only know about books.
