I'm pretty sure it's on there somewhere, or it was. Reading some of the threads on the Kindle forum it looks like it's 6 devices for major publishers and 5 for publishers using the DTP program. In which case that would have to be set by Amazon, which makes my previous post pretty much completely wrong.

It also looks like Amazon isn't actually asking publishers about the limit, it's just popping up on the books, very bad form.
