Amazon removed S/N info from Manage My Kindle page
It's gone. I used to be able to get my Kindle S/N number from my Manage My Kindle page to generate my Kindle PID. As of this morning, that information is no longer visible.
I went to get the S/N for my registered iPod Touch and noticed all the S/N's are gone. Fortunately there are other ways to get the info but I wanted to give everyone a heads up. I'll be updating the Visual Kindle Guide today to reflect this change. |

You are right; it's gone. I just checked and could not find mine. So now we need to write it down somewhere, just in case you lose your Kindle!

I think they've become aware of the hole for DeDRMing they've opened to iPhone and iPod Touch users and are trying to make getting a PID more difficult.

In this case, it's kinda too late.

But how would you get it for the iPhone/touch? The one in iTunes is not the same as the one at Amazon and generates a totally different PID.

Isn't it the regular S/N from the iPhone or Touch? If not, then those who didn't get before Amazon took it down may have some issues.
