The answer, as pointed out above, is "only what the terms of service explicitly allow".

To be not-quite-pedantic: That depends on the local laws. If terms and conditions violate local laws, laws take precedence.
Norwegian law is extremely unclear. It's illegal to circumvent "effective" DRM measures, unless it's done to be able to use a legally aquired work on what's commonly considered relevant equipment. So noone really knows if DRM for books is "effective" or so trivial that the law doesn't apply, and noone knows if it's a common opinion that you should be able to read epub books on a Kindle or Amazon books on a non-Kindle.
