And to settle the "
You have to de-register a device in order to free up a simultaneous device usage slot" argument:
Here's an image of my Amazon Content & Devices account page showing a Hachette title that is currently on 6 devices/apps simultaneously, and can't be downloaded to another device.
I then go to the Fire10 device listed above and delete the book (NOT de-register) from that device; sync content, and refresh my Amazon Content & Devices account page and can see that it has freed up a slot:
And then I can immediately download the title to a different device/app to bring the total to six again. Which makes it full again and I'm once again unable to put it on another device (until I delete it from a device/app).
No de-registering necessary. Tried it by deleting via the device/app (both kindle devices and non-kindle devices) and the results were always the same: deleting books from devices frees up Simultaneous Device Usage slots. The only reason one would need to deregister the device/app is if you don't have access to to the device/app to remove the book from it.

Now that I have forced the issue on Simultaneous Device Usage for a title, feel free to understand that I am no longer working from any assumptions whatsoever. I am now basing my posts on "how it works."
