It's not the device specifically, but a combination of the device and the user's account.

For instance, my wife and I both have Kindles (Mine is a DX, her's is a Kindle 2) and we can not read each other's books on our respective Kindles. If I were to de-register my kindle, the books I've bought from Amazon remain with my Amazon account so that I could put them on a new device later on, but she can't read them. Period.
thing is, he's not planning on getting another kindle. he wants a sony.
