Try www.mobipocket.com. Under the Software tab, you can download a free reader and creator. Both are easy to use under Windows XP.

The reader will read either purchased DRM .prc files (with your computer's PID) or unDRMed .PRC files.

The creator will accept either .doc MS Word files or HTML and creat a .PRC unDRMed file that should be readable on the Kindle. (Note: I don't have a Kindle but do this for my Palm T/X routinely.)

BTW, didn't mean to steal Harry's thunder. Just had some info to share.
