Yes, you're right about the mobipocket software adding a PID. I did use it once upon a time, before I escaped from Windows. I've tried getting it to run in Linux with Wine, but it doesn't like it, so that's not a viable route. I think your best bet would be to get you money back from Libresco and take your custom to one of the ebook sellers that *does* store your PID code.

Perhaps you should point Libresco at this thread too, in the hopes that they get a Clue.
