What are 'My Mobipocket PIDs'?

Every copy of Mobipocket® Reader contains a PID, a 10 character code that uniquely identifies that copy of Mobipocket Reader. Upon download, this system uses the PID to tie a Mobipocket eBook you borrow to the device(s) on which you want to read it. At the 'My Mobipocket PIDs' screen, you can register up to 3 PIDs to your account, and review previously entered PIDs. For more information on PIDs, click here.
