I believe that the Amazon encryption works like the MobiPocket in that the .azw file will be encrypted for all Kindles registered to the account. Right now if I purchase an encrypted MobiPocket book from Fictionwise it comes with 3 different PIDs that I registered with Fictionwise encrypted into the file. If I run MobiDeDrm on that file using any of the three PIDs, the program works.

Amazon asking which Kindle to download the ebook to is purely convenience. It can be download to either or all it just takes separate clicks at Amazon to make it so.

Then again I may be wrong since when you download to the PC Amazon asks which Kindle it is for. I will run a couple tests and report back....

I was wrong, the ebook is encrypted with only one PID so the encryption scheme isn't identical to MobiPocket.
