There is typically a help page at the site where you bought your MOBI ebooks explaining this. Each DRMed MOBI file has "slots" for 4 PIDs, and it will only display the ebook using MobiPocket reader software on the devices with those PIDs.

Since this is a mobidedrm thread, I assume you have already found out that it is relatively easy to strip the DRM from your MOBI ebooks. They can then be read on any device supported by mobipocket, and even by 3rd party readers like FBReader. Finally they can be shifted to other ebook formats, e.g. via Calibre. Some countries have laws that appear to make circumventing DRM illegal, however it often isn't clear if this applies to circumvention of DRM for personal use on ebooks you paid for.
