If they still insist on hiding the PID then they could provide a method via their DRM tools to provide this to the vendors using overdrive and mobi drm tools. After all they own Mobi and supporting mobi still makes money for them.

If Amazon did not want to allow all Mobipocket eBooks with DRM, they could just add support for Mobipocket eBooks with time limited DRM to allow library Mobipocket eBooks to be read. That would go a long way to helping their reputation.
