I'm a non-techy and have yet to master Igors scripts (not from lack of trying or help).

The simplest, no-think way to get your Kindle PID is to download MobiPocket Reader 6.0. It shows you the PID of your Kindle. Be sure not to use the current version (6.2) or the previous on (6.1) as they do NOT show the Kindle PID.

Here's the instructions from Fictionwise on how to proceed after getting your Kindle PID:

3. Set your Mobipocket Personal ID (PID) in your Bookshelf:

4. Download your Mobipocket eBook from your Bookshelf by pressing the Download button.

Note that the PID is not the same as the Kindle serial number under the back cover. And Amazon Kindle reps have been instructed not to give out the PID via the phone help line.

If you need the link to Mobipocket Reader 6.0 send me a personal message.

Since you are out of EVDO range and can't get free samples, you can use this site for free samples: http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/...me=Biographies

The samples are drm free, so no PID is needed. They will work on your Kindle without any need for PID or other info.
