When you register a kindle device to your account or install the kindle app, you agree to the kindle store's terms and conditions. You cannot download kindle books without registering a device first or installing the app. I believe you also agree to the same T&C when you first access kindle's "cloud reader".

Whenever you make a purchase, you have to specify which device it is for (including the cloud reader), which ties the purchase to the agreement you made for that device. This way, amazon doesn't need to ask you to agree to the "fine print" for every single purchase.

As for the actual T&C, see https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=201014950

...Upon your download or access of Kindle Content and payment of any applicable fees (including applicable taxes), the Content Provider grants you a non-exclusive right to view, use, and display such Kindle Content an unlimited number of times (for Subscription Content, only as long as you remain an active member of the underlying membership or subscription program), solely through a Kindle Application or as otherwise permitted as part of the Service, solely on the number of Supported Devices specified in the Kindle Store, and solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Kindle Content is licensed, not sold, to you by the Content Provider....
