Hi all! Nashville, TN checking in here! I JUST received a Kindle 2 from my beloved husband for our 27th Anniversary, and I could not be more excited. But I am a COMPLETE novice, not only with the Kindle, but also with most things "technology". Would someone be kind enough to explain to me what "DRM" is, and why I would try to locate E-books without it? I also want to tell you all how much I appreciate the threads on where to locate free books, as well as where you can borrow them from libraries. One of my original reasons for wanting a Kindle is that I love reading and writing, and I wanted to be able to support the authors through book sales. I INTEND TO PURCHASE MANY VOLUMES through both Amazon and other outlets, but if I can also add to my library through these free or loan services, I can afford more titles.

Thank you for all your help and good wishes and info,
Lori
