I use the Kindle for PC software on my netbook. I purchased an Amazon/Kindle book yesterday. When I got home I opened the Kindle-PC program on the netbook and it started reinstalling itself (or something). Whatever it did, it now does not sync with Amazon.

I figure I should uninstall and reinstall the software on the PC.
Here's my question:
Should I "deauthorize" the PC first with Amazon; uninstall the current software; then reinstall and reauthorize the PC?
If so,
Will I "lose" my purchased books? Do I have to use the identical PC-name-ID?

Any thoughts appreciated!
I'll just read the books that I have paid for first, just to be safe!
