Amazon changed how the PID is calculated on the Kindle. It's no longer based on the serial number. And if I am wrong and it is based on the serial number, then the routine used to get the PID is different. Either way, the available tools no longer work with a Kindle to remove the DRM. You HAVE to use KindleForPC or KindleForMAC to remove the DRM. The tools only work there. And you do not want to use unswindle or Skindle as they don't work well.
