The downside is that the book file will not work on another kindle. If you own more than one kindle or share your account, Amazon allows you to download a book file that has been keyed for each kindle.

Either I misread Kolenka's post or you did. As I read it, the server Kolenka referred to was the content server from which the book was downloaded. That's the point at which the file is keyed. I didn't see a reference to any
further contact with a server.
