Right, it isn't automatic -- if you buy from Kindle A, only Kindle A gets the download, and it goes into the archive of Kindle B, and vice-versa. If you buy from a computer or use Manage Your Kindle, you choose which device gets the content from a dropdown box. (I can only guess that in CPRich's situation, someone chose to download everything in the archive at some point.)
