The reason to target kindlepid is because without the PID, you cannot strip the DRM or even shift it to the Kindle. The eBooks are locked in to whatever they are locked into when they are purchased. So no PID, no DRM removal or shifting. It means Amazon is trying to lock you in to buying DRMed eBooks from them and them only.
