downloaded to a registered device up to 6 different ones because each
device has its own serial number so does not matter how many times you
redownload your books. Aamazon knows that it is you and the device
belong to you so you can do this to up to 6 devices that could be
include smartphone, tablet and computer with kindle app or kindle
software installed. Things you can not share is a single book, Kindle
active content title or subscriptions. But you can manage your existing
Kindle library and change your subscription delivery options to
different device through the Manage Your Kindle if you upgrade or change
device.
The most important things is meaning of  devices, does not mean current
number of devices that you register on account because device could be
deregistered and reregister unlimited.
For example, I have 6 people in our family and each person own kindle or
kindle app or software installed devices and they all love to read
books. And all the devices has been register through one account (Not
that you do not have to but why not since one paid book could be share
by everyone up to 6 devices) Let&#039;s say, I purchased a book titled &quot;How
to kindle&quot; from kindle store and all 6 people download and read book
with their own 6 individual devices. So if I removed the book from my
device for more space to put more book or simply reset the device, I
could redownload the same book without the problem but if I deregister
my kindle and bought new one and register on amazon to download the same
book, I can not do it. Because deregister does not mean all the books
in that device has been removed. You still can read  and keep all the
books from the kindle or device that has been deregisted unless you
remove the books manually yourself. That is reason amazon limit the
number of devices to protect the copy right. If amazon does not have
this policy, some people could let other people to download the same
book from your account unlimited.
Most time this problem does not happen unless you have a big family who
loves to read or too many devices registered which is difficult to
manage. I hope in future amazon will upgrade their website so we can see
all the detail and transaction of each book to minimize this
confusions.
Now you have freedom to carry and read couple thousands books in anytime
and anywhere with tiny device. Let&#039;s manage well to enjoy fullest. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no limit on the number of times Kindle content can be<br

isPermaLink="false">http://www.geardiary.com/?p=34387#comment-114049</guid> <description>This blog was very helpful in making those who want to buy a Kindle more informed consumers.  As I was looking into the Kindle, the concerns raised on this blog post were helpful in making me ask questions that ultimately led me to purchase a Kindle.  I figure that I owe it to the community to post the responses to the questions that I had.
1.)How many devices can I share each book on?
While the standard is six, publishers have the right to restrict the DRM to fewer than six devices.
2.  How do I know if the DRM is fewer than six?
On the Amazon Kindle page when you are purchasing a book, if the publisher has restricted the book to fewer than six devices then you&#039;ll see the message &quot;Simultaneous Device usage: Up to X simultaneous devices, per publisher limits&quot; on the website detail page.  - this is per Kindle customer service.
3.  What if I need to upgrade one of my devices?
-You would need to delete your books off of one of the devices and then deactivate it from your Amazon Kindle account.  This should free up your DRM to put it on another device.
4.  Can I lend my Kindle books?
As of December 31, 2010, you can now lend your books to people with some restrictions.
Ultimately, I chose the Kindle because Amazon was the only place that had the titles that I needed.  Experience with device on day 2 has been very good and I feel this is a major improvement from paper.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This blog was very helpful in making those who want to buy a Kindle more informed consumers.

As the old saying goes (Buyers beware)  When you sign or accept terms you are in effect giving away your rights. You are paying $10.00 to rent a digital copy of which you have no rights. How much does a digital copy cost the publisher???? Once again coperate greed wins over ignorant consumers. But it is never too late for the almighty consummer to fight back.
I love the idea of an e-reader but if I buy a book it should be mine to do with as I wish.
Come on people this country was built on the rights of the individual STOP sighning your rights away.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a time when you put your money in a bank and actually got something back a respectable interest rate.<br
