We consider the diophantine equation (*)    xp - x = yq - y in integers (x, p, y, q). We prove that for given p and q with 2 ≤ p < q, (*) has only finitely many solutions. Assuming the abc-conjecture we can prove that p and q are bounded. In the special case p = 2 and y a prime power we are able to solve (*) completely.
