That phrasing is interesting. Notice that it doesn't say "DRM-free". It just says that you can use it on as many devices as you want. It doesn't explicitly state it, but it is implied by it being a "kindle edition" that the devices are running kindle software.
For older kindle formats that unlimited feature was implemented by the absence of DRM. In the case of KFX (the topic of this thread) all books delivered in that format have DRM regardless of that statement in the product details. However those books are encoded so that they can be freely transferred to any kindle device that supports the format and they will work. So for KFX "Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited" means less locked down, but not completely free of DRM.
