Once the book's on the PC, it's a normal file, so you can move it to the My Kindle Content folder.

I think you misread what I said. When you select "Download to my Computer" from the "Manage my Kindle" page, it doesn't offer you the choice of Kindle For PC, only actual Kindle devices.

As far as the PIDs are concerned, that's just a matter of registering each copy of Kindle for PC to your account (but what out for the device limit).

No, Amazon doesn't work that way. For normal mobipocket books there were several DRM sections for each device registered to your account, and with the book key encrypted with the pid of each device. With Amazon there is only one DRM section, and the key is encrypted on the fly for the device you're downloading to. If you have two kindles you cannot simply copy files between them. This is why a dialog pops up prompting you for which device when you select "Download to my PC" from the "Manage my Kindle" page if you have multiple kindles registered to your account. If you download the book for "Kindle A" and put it on "Kindle B" it won't open.
Again, none of this helps the OP. Kindle 4 PC won't work through the proxy, which means he can't even register the application with Amazon in the first place.
