Amazon obviously know the serial number (& so PID) of all the Kindles that they've sold. So you can't generate a fake Kindle Serial Number/PID.
For the iPhone/iPod they generate the PID from the UDID which is available through iTunes. I very much doubt that Apple have supplied Amazon with a complete list of UDIDs of devices that have downloaded the Kindle App for iPhone/iPod, so I suppose it should be possible to generate a fake UDID and use that.
Of course, if Amazon find out, their Terms and Conditions allow them to close your account without notice, cutting off access to all your purchased ebooks. I wouldn't bother myself.

Anybody up to this?
