The Kindle PID and the PID used by the iPhone Kindle software are generated by software. At the moment, the software generates the PID based on a unique hardware ID in the Kindle or iPhone, but Amazon could change the way the PID is generated with a firmware update at any time.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
