This is the easiest approach, and given the whispernet-centric delivery model there is no reason not to lock each file to a single Kindle. Note that you can have the same ebook on up to six Kindles, but they don't have to be identical files (the encryption can make them different). It is always dangerous to mentally reverse engineer a delivery system (because there can be real issues you are unaware of, or because the delivery system isn't optimal) but I would bet each file is locked to one Kindle. This is easy for someone with two Kindles to confirm or refute. If the files are identical, then why is Amazon doing such an apparently idiotic thing (i.e. what advantage to this approach am I missing)?

I have two Kindle1's. when I got my second one, i went back to my Amazon media library, and redownloaded the ones I had already bought there. It asked me 'for Kindle1 or Kindle2? I chose Kindle2. It downloaded with no problem.
The books I had downloaded from here and feedbooks, I just copied and pasted to the Kindle documents folder after I had plugged it in.
