Mobi book on Kindle 3.0.2?

Hi all, happy new year

I have recently purchased a Kindle 3.0.2 3G version. I am a languages student and was hoping to use the kindle to read German language texts and be able to check a German-English dictionary while doing so. Unable to fins any German-English Kindle Default Dictionary in the Kindle Store, I found one on the Mobipocket website. I had read somewhere that dictionaries bought from this site would work as Kindle default dictionaries and that removing the DRM, which was necessary to use said books on a kindle, was relatively easy.

However, having downloaded the required scripts to remove said DRM, I came across the problem that the script offered to generate the Kindle PID number did not work with my Kindle's serial number. Why would this be? Is it because the serial number format is different.

If anyone could help me out here I would be eternally grateful, the difficulty in getting a German-Language dictionary, then paying money for one only for it not to work, has caused me great annoyance!

Thanks for your time,

Jonathan
