The moment you buy a new PDA is the moment you lose all the eBooks you bought. Isn't it? I guess Mobipocket can clarify this.
I was about to buy a MobiPocket dictionary, until I was required to identify my PDA. So I was like "I'm NOT paying this much to buy a disposable dictionary!!!"
So far, I haven't kept the same PDA for more than one year and a half. Usually, paper dictionaries last a LOT longer than that!
If it's possible to have your ebooks installed in a new PDA (and read them, of course), then it should be clearly stated when they ask you ID numbers. Every six months (at most) you should be able to submit a new ID.
Anyway, I believe ebook publishers need to find new schemes.
