I am having a problem with Fictionwise. I used to have my PID for my kindle in my list of mobipocket devices. I could download books, run kindlefix.py, and read them fine on my kindle. Then, one day, my kindle PID was deleted (with no action on my part). Now, when I try to re-enter it, it will not save.

I asked fictionwise support, and they say that my PID is not valid because of the asterisk. I understand that kindle PIDs have the asterisk, but desktop ones do not.

I guess I am just frustrated because this USED to work, but now it does not. And Fictionwise will not help me because they say the PID is invalid.

I tried putting in my laptop PID, and then kindlefix won't work (because the PID does not have an asterisk).

I have purchased multiformat books from fictionwise which work fine, but the problem is that many of the books I want are not in multiformat. I have a bunch of credit at fictionwise that I want to use rather than go buy books at other retailers who will let me use my kindle PID.

What are my options, if any, for books from fictionwise?
