Ahh, okay, I misunderstood. I thought people were using kindlepid to get their Kindle PID, downloading an ebook from, say, Fictionwise with their computer or other device's PID, then running Kindlefix on it to change the PID.
Re-reading, I see now that Kindlefix simply fixes a special 'flag' in the file that allows it to be used on Kindles; the file already has to have the Kindle PID in it.
So now I see the PID really has little to do with it. Kindlefix is certainly a program that circumvents a bit that controls access to the file.
