Portability of Kindle content across devices

I apologize in advance if this is a simple question. I recently purchased an Ipod Touch and have installed the Kindle Reader application. And now it has been announced that the Kindle reader software will be available for PCs (I have a netbook).

Can I purchase and download books now for my Ipod Touch and then, when, the PC application becomes available, read them on my netbook?

My understanding is that I register my Ipod Touch as my first device. Then later I could re-download the same book to my netbook as long as it is registered as my second device. Is this correct?

Searching through the forums, there appeared to be a limit of 6 devices. Is this simultaneous or lifetime? So after I have cycled through 6 devices, will I know longer be able to read the Kindle content?

These questions are important to me as there are some books I would only buy (e.g., travel guidebooks) if I can read them on both my Ipod and my PC but there is no way I would purchase them twice.

All of my accounts are registered in the USA and I am a USA resident, but I travel overseas 9 months per year and virtually all of my downloads would be outside of the USA (if that matters).

Thanks!
Travis
