(They can delete books from your Kindle (and probably the PC application too) whenever they like and without your consent)

1163203 2010-12-20 01:12:00 Ive got a new Kindle and love it. DRM....whatever, I read a book, maybe the wife reads it and thats about it.

You can also send PDF files to Amazon and they convert them for free to a kindle format.

Books are generally cheaper then a paper or hardback and the instant delivery is great.

Since I got mine Ive read about 20 more books then I did last year as I can take it away on holidays / weekends without worrying about packing a seperate bag of books.

Kindle ftw I say.

1163204 2010-12-20 01:23:00 eBooks are useful but not a replacement for actual paper, for the basic reason that paper is much nicer to read than a screen.

Glad to see you're liking the DRM, but don't come crying if Amazon decides to delete the eBooks you purchased.

1163205 2010-12-20 01:29:00 To convert en e book from one format to another you can use the Calibre program. Free, easy to use and it works for most. There are one or two limitations eg images in PDF.
See www.calibre.com for details.
