I don't think you are correct, it is certainly not limited to Kindles. It is copyright Amazon, and they actually make it available for
free download. The license in the download says:

All of these fonts were developed under contract for Amazon - as a result Amazon owns them fully outright. To include these designs in your work there are no licenses payments, no royalties, no copyright or attribution notices required. The font itself carries the proper ownership and copyright information in the header metadata of the font and Amazon does not require any additional attribution or protections when using the font.

So it seems perfectly OK to install Bookerly and Amazon Ember on your personal devices, and even potentially to distribute them if you're a device manufacturer as long as you don't remove their copyrights.
IANAL though, if someone with actual legal expertise wants to contribute here...
