The Mobipocket DRM is device specific. A device specific key is generated and the book is encrypted with it. So you have to redownload the book for the new device. The book is encrypted with the PID of the new device and can only be read on that device (or on the Desktop Reader which is able to handle decryption with more than one PID).
