I'm confused. Why would you need your Kindle's PID to remove the DRM from ebooks you want to put ON your Kindle?

But whatever: There's no generated device PID necessary (for the vast majority) anymore. Just visit Alf's blog.

it was stupid of me. i deleted the dictionary off my kindle and amazon archive, then decided later on that i wanted it after all. i downloaded the dictionary from my wife's archive, but it's locked to her kindle. thus needing to dedrm it. she actually has the touch kindle, so i guess i might need the pid for that. i have no idea.

PID for kindle is the serial number, at home screen, just press 'menu', 'setting', 'menu', 'device info'.

Just call Kindle support. They will re-add it for you to your account.
