Just another question Harry!

I guess that my experience was fairly typical, but let's assume that for any reason my Cybook would have been beyond repairs. In that case I would immediatly have ordered a new one.

Now comes the question of PID. Is it possible to order one with the old PID ? Or if I remove that PID at Books on Board or Fictionwise, do I regain my 4 possible PID or is my total number is decreased by one forever ??? If in 2 years time Bookeen comes up with the Gen4, it is another PID gone ???

Without going illegal, how will we be able to keep our book collection from disappearing ??? The same problem I guess can happen if you change computer and you have to download Mobipocket reader again...

Has this issue been addressed ???

Thanks,

Georges
