The limit is on simultaneous devices, but Amazon isn't setup to automatically handle unregistering a device from ebooks. Also some ebooks have a lower limit, which is listed on the ebook's web page on the Kindle store. See Amazon DRM limiting number of times you can download a book. |
Thank you, wallcraft. I read through the whole thread and the later blog entry. So it appears that I will be able to purchase a book for my kindle-registered Ipod Touch. And then later re-download the same book, without paying again, for reading on my Kindle-registered netbook. And I will be able to read the same book simultaneously on these 2 devices (this latter point is critical to my reading experience).
I guess we have to view DRM as renting.
The one thing that really surprised me is that I do not know the maximum number of PIDs before I purchase a particular Kindle book. I am guessing that there are no Kindle books currently for sale that have been confirmed with a simultaneous PID limit of 3 or lower?
