What he's saying is to run that through kindlepid.py (you'll have to modify the code to treat it like an iPod device number) then see if it matches the PID.

Again, you either 1) got lucky or 2) downloaded that book within the first day or so of Kindle for PC being released.

Now, why don't you try newly downloading a free book (like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FBJBA4) and see how far that PID gets you. Once that fails, you could also try deleting that book you listed before, re-downloading and seeing if it still comes down with the old encryption method.
