Geez, i thought so. Anyways here is an interesting find.

Both the kindle 3 and the kindle dx are registered to my account.

When i choose to download a book to the pc and transfer via USB (from Amazon's manage your kindle page), i am asked to which device i want to download for. The options are my kindle 3 and my kindle dx of course.

But when i try the same for the active content, i am only given the choice for my kindle 3. There isn't an option for downloading active content to my PC for my kindle DX. What is happening?

EDIT:

I checked my DX's archived items and the active contents i bought aren't there. Yes it is true i can't use the active content i paid for.

EDIT 2:

I found the reason. When i go to the page of one of the active content i bought, i saw this message:

Some of your kindles do not have Kindle Software Version 2.5 which is required for this title. To have this software automatically installed, turn on wireless for these devices.

some of your kindles part showed the name of my kindle DXG when clicked.

This totally explains the reason of active content problem i guess. software 3.1 or 3.2.1 for Kindle DXG isn't known by Amazon and registered as below 2.5.

EDIT 3:

Is there anyway to spoof 2.5.8 for amazon? What i mean is there must be a variable for version info which amazon looks for. Is it possible to change it?
