If you download books using K4PC and copy those books from your "My Kindle Content" folder via USB to the documents folder on your Kindle they will not be readable on the Kindle because each device has it's own unique PID. This prevents documents downloaded from Amazon on one device from being read on another device. Likewise, if you backed up your books to your hard drive from one Kindle, you can't transfer those books to another Kindle and have them be readable.

So K4PC has a different PID then my Kindle? Interesting. I did not know that. Is that the case for K4 IPad and all the other Kindle apps?
This is why I love this board, I learn something new every day. It also explains why when I was downloading a book to my In Laws computer (no whispernet where they are) it asked what device I was going to be putting the book onto. I was wondering about that
