I have a lot of books. I never have a problem. The bottom-line is that it is a ridiculously arbitrary and stupid limitation. If you buy the right to read the book then you ought to be allowed to read that book on whatever device you own. The thing about ridiculous limitations is that they tend not to survive.
I downloaded kindle onto my tablet and tried to buy a new book. Stupid alright. What do you do when devices die? Cancel the license. Why something like this solo difficult….. Knowing that the price of an ebook is not that much lower than a pocket version of the same story I even found some where the ebook costs more than the pocket equivalent , I am just realizing that this could not be a good thing to do.
Having read the first few answers, I must clarify something: the Amazon account of my son is NOT the same as my Amazon account. I think that for him to access my Kindle store as I do as well with my Archos tablet , I need to give him my login credentials, or am I mistaken?
It's not a matter of trust that I should not give him my login credentials. And of course , I do not want him to see these items. As per their FAQ:. Most books you purchase from the Kindle store may be simultaneously accessed for your personal use on up to six Kindles or Kindle-compatible devices such as Kindle for PC or Kindle for iPhone registered to your Amazon. If the limit is less than six simultaneous copies for a specific title, you'll see the message "Simultaneous Device usage: Up to X simultaneous devices, per publisher limits" on the Amazon.
If you reach the device limit and want to replace one of your current devices with a new one, you must first deregister and delete the content from the device you wish to replace before you can access the content in question from your new device. Subscription content such as magazines and blogs can only be downloaded to one Kindle at a time and cannot be accessed from Kindle for PC. So yes, you can read the ebook on multiple devices, but be aware that there is a limit of 6 or fewer devices.
You should be able to register multiple Kindle apps or devices to the one Amazon account. For example I can read the same book on my Kindle, HTC Desire using the Kinde app and the desktop application on work and home computers.
Some Kindle books have "Lending" enabled on them, so that you can loan them to another Kindle user for up to two weeks. The downside is that this can only be done once per book, and not all publishers allow their books to be leant out.

After reading Nathan's answer to this question , I was surprised that there was a limit on the number of devices you can download book to. I'm assuming this is controlled by Amazon but I would like to find the details on this. If you download to one device and then hit the limit is it possible to 'officially remove' the book from one device so you can read it on another, newer device?
Also, is there a way to see how many 'devices are remaining' for an ebook or when purchasing an ebook is there a way to see how many devices it supports? To keep within the limit, you may want to deregister an old device that you no longer read on for instance, you may have put the Kindle reading app on a laptop that you've since replaced.
When you select any of the devices you've read from, a "Deregister" link is available that removed the device from your list. You should be able to remove a book from one device and download onto another after reaching your limit as long as both devices are connected to the internet, but there's no guarantee. There does not seem to be a way to see how many devices are left.
Kindle is working as USB drive after connecting to computer, so you can copy any e-books to and from the device. In that way you can copy your e-book to the unlimited number of devices, though it requires some more work. I personally use that way, because I want to have full controll over the e-books I have. In case of books with DRM protection you'd need to remove that protection for some people it may be a bit controversial, but they are wrong - it's the principe that you should have full control over your property for which you have paid.
