is it not possible to transfer ownership of the kindle before registration and then she should be able to use the credit card method to purchase books from amazon
now if it was me i would use all the info on this site to circumvent whatever i could but i doubt my sis would go down this route
ps daffy have seen your message will act on it soon

None of that sounds right to me. Not a bit of it.
An unregistered Kindle is an unregistered Kindle. It matters not one whit who purchased it. UNLESS it came registered to the person who purchased it, in which case it would need to be unregistered so it could be re-registered to the new account.
The Amazon account needs to have a US credit card and a US address. I have never heard about a "pid" ... there certainly wasn't one generated from the registration process.
I purchased a Kindle from another member here at Mobileread. She sent it to me unregistered (having removed her registration information). I got my neighbor's Amazon account information, and then registered that Kindle in her name (it's for her mother in law).
All I needed was her email address and her Amazon password. Simple ... that Kindle is now registered to her ... not to the original purchaser, and not to me. Any purchases made through that Kindle are made on my neighbor's account.
Someday, that Kindle will come back to me (though not too soon, I hope, I really like my neighbor's mother in law). Then, I will unregister it again, and re-register it with my own information.
