You need a Kindle PID (or Kindle App PID) to strip DRM from books bought from Amazon. |
But you can do it the
other way round with just a mobi PID, if you buy directly from MobiPocket (which Amazon owns), rather than Amazon.
In fact, you
must have a mobi PID to buy from Mobipocket
at all, and you can get one from the Mobipocket desktop software.
More and more it seems that this isn't about preserving the DRM, but rather about preserving Amazon's lock-in efforts.
