I'll do your payment gateway integration for a free Cybook:P P.S. I assume you plan on doing a decent volume of CC purchases and for amounts in excess of 200k per month it takes like 3-5 days to get merchant account approval.

I think it is correct that AZW files are locked to a single Kindle, but I agree that Kindles can share an account and therefore share e-books. This is a significantly different kind of sharing that the "any 4 PIDs" approach that MobiPocket takes, but it might be a preferred by parents who want to monitor what their kids read (for example).
In any case, I have removed the "single Kindle" reference in the original post. |

I don't actually have several Kindles, but this makes sense to me because it is basically the same procedure as Mobipocket. |

I wonder what happens if you disassociate a Kindle from an Amazon Kindle account? Do the books on that account stop working on that Kindle?

Now we need to find someone with multiple Kindles on one account to find out for sure. |

Hm. That would seem to indicate that the PIDs associated with an Amazon account are all encrypted into the file on download. So they're using a modification of Mobi that allows multiple PIDs per file.
How does that work with regular Mobipocket books? If you download a version to read on your PC, but then you add another device, do you have to download again to get a version with both the PC and the new device in the PID part of the file? |

Yes. The Windows MobiPocket Reader might do the download for you automatically in some cases, but in others you have to explicitly download it again.

So when you download a Mobipocket file, if you have two (or more) devices registered to the same account, does the same file work on all the registered devices? Or do you have to download it separately for each device?

The same file works on up to 4 devices (4 PIDs). You can also delete PIDs and the old files still work on the deleted PIDs, but the re-downloaded files won't.

Oh, ok. I thought I remembered someone in one of the Kindle threads suggesting that storing multiple PIDs in one DRM'd file was new with the Kindle, vs. the regular Mobipocket format, so I thought that might have been the justification for why they fiddled with the format. But I guess it's just a monopoly strategy after all.

When?
When will the readers actually be available for purchase, shipment, and delivery? I've been holding off on ordering a Cybook in order to get one of these but I'd really like to get it before Christmas. If the NAEB readers aren't ready very soon, I'll probably give in and order from Bookeen before their shipping dates shift any later.
