I understand Amazon DRM pretty well but I never studied how download limits work.
There has to be some counting mechanism operating in the background.
Let's say I buy a book with a download limit of 6. And I repeat this sequence: download, delete, loop. ( On the same device) . Will the 7th repeat trigger the limit or does 6 mean 6 different devices ?

Or, assume I own 7 devices and have downloaded to 6. Is there any way to "claw one back " without deregistering a device, in order to download to the 7th one?

I do find that Amazon don't document this stuff very well and their own support staff don't understand the rules. E.g. I queried how the 10 registered devices limit for Amazon music works with the 6 people family plan. Amazon support Guy I spoke to insisted it was 10 devices total i.e. less than 2 each for 6 people. I insisted he go get a 2nd opinion as it should be 10 per person, 60 total. He did and I was right in that instance. And also fire TV devices dont count towards the 10 limit , which was good to know as we have several!

So, back to books. Anyone have a definitive explanation of download limits?
