This was a well known issue on the old Amazon forums that users sometimes have to contact Amazon if the license isn't "released" if the book in question is deleted from a device. It is supposed to work that way...delete the book from a device, then sync, so it can be downloaded to another device.
But there is usually a delay in the syncing from device to the Amazon servers. When that happens, a call to Amazon is needed. Deleting the device itself is not necessary.
Unless something has changed, it's called Simultaneous Use license, and is 6, unless otherwise mentioned on the book's product page.
Textbooks are sometimes only 1 device, 2 for some. Usually if not mentioned, it's unlimited.
