using Kindle PID with Mobipocket DRM books
I'm sorry if this was asked elsewhere (I'm sure it probably has been but I haven't seen it poking through this board).

I'm considering some DRMed books on Fictionwise, and one option is to provide a Mobipocket PID (for mobi format).

I have a Kindle 2, can I use that PID? If I do, can I read .mobi DRM files on the Kindle 2 as long as the Kindle 2's PID was used (by that I mean, do I have to rename them to AZW)?

If I do want to strip the DRM (to read it in my Android phone) can I then strip it with the same script I use to strip DRM from my AZW books in Calibre?

I read somewhere that the Mobi PID needs a different symbol in it than the Kindle PID (one has a "*" and one has a "$", IIRC) and I'm wondering how true that is and how much impact it has on using the books on two different devices...
