Kindle to iphone to desktop?
I had a Kindle 1, which I bought books for. I had a iphone 3g which I moved some books onto. I then got a Kindle 2 and a iphone 3gs.
I have been able to convert some of the kindle books from the iphone onto my desktop using tools from other forums. However some of the older books I have do not seem to recognize the PID for the iphone. I am wondering if perhaps these books were purchased on the older iphone and Kindle1, if the PID would be locked to the first iphone and Kindle |

Each Kindle file is locked to a single device, i.e. it contains one PID. If the file came from your Kindle 1 it will have the Kindle 1 PID in it.
However, if you go to the "Manage your Kindle" page at Amazon you should be able to redownload all (or almost all) ebooks for a new device. If you have a Kindle, the file can be downloaded directly to your PC and it will have the Kindle PID in it. If you only have a iPhone, the files always go to the iPhone (and will contain its PID). Note also that some Kindle ebooks don't have DRM, and so don't have a PID at all. |

If no DRM then those should be able to be opened with no problems?
