Myth:
Only 6 Kindles can be registered to your Amazon account.
Truth:
Up to 6 Kindles may share content.
I believe the confusion comes from the section on the support page regarding
Digital Rights Management.

Digital Rights Management Issues
* Content from the Kindle Store: Most books and other non-subscription items you purchase from the Kindle store may be downloaded for your personal use on to up to six Kindles registered to your Amazon.com account. If you have exceeded your download limit, you must purchase an additional copy of the title. Subscription content can only be downloaded to one Kindle at a time, and only the seven most recent issues will be available for redownload in the Kindle Content Manager or from the Manage Your Kindle page.

After contacting Amazon Customer Service a couple of times, I received this
response with clarification (bold added by me).
Quote:
I have reviewed our previous correspondence and apologize for any frustration you have felt thus far. There is no limit to the number of Kindles that can be registered to a single account. However you will only be able to view a Kindle book from up to 6 Kindles at any given time.
Most books come with a maximum of six licenses, but their are some books that may have less. The amount of licenses a book comes with is determined by the author or publisher who owns the right to the content.
I hope this information answered your question. Our goal is to help you get the most out of your Kindle experience. If you need further assistance, please contact customer support at 1-866-321-8851.
Thank you for choosing Kindle. Enjoy!
