That's right - every device has an identifier called a PID, which is a 10 character alphanumeric string. All I had to do for my new device was to go to the web site (Fictionwise) where I bought my books, enter the new device PID, and re-download my books. Each book can be encoded for up to 4 different PIDs.
You can register the PID of the desktop reader if you wish, but I'm not bothered about being able to read DRM-protected books on that, so I've not bothered doing so. All I use the desktop reader for is "previewing" the Mobi books that I create to make sure that they look OK - it's a lot quicker than loading them onto the Gen3 to do so.
