As long as Whispernet remains off, I would think that any subsequent book purchases (downloaded to computer for transfer as opposed to device) would be DRM'd via the old PID scheme and, therefore, could still be liberated with tools mentioned. Of course, if/when Whispernet is activated that would presumably change everything.

Has anyone tested this yet?
That seems plausible to me.

BTW, who could have possibly foreseen this situation arising?
