Why do some booksellers allow 4 pids and some like BooksOnBoard only 2? I was under the impression that this was controlled in some fashion by mobipocket its self. Can each bookseller set their own policy?

With only 2 pids I can read only on my iliad as the other pid is used by the download machine. Is there some way of downloading directly say to the CF card mounted in the iliad and will this save me a pid? I never read on my PC.

I cant believe I understand the above. Geekdom looms.
