Any way to read Kindle books on my Palm?
Hi everyone! (yes, I'm back, baby! )
This has probably been asked and answered already, so I'll make it short and pithy: Is there any way to read my Kindle books on my Palm Centro? Thanks! |

MobiPocket has a reader app for PalmOS. It should read Kindle AZW ebooks if you remove the DRM (encryption), if any, and rename from .azw to .prc. Note that some Kindle ebooks are in the TOPAZ format, which is harder to deal with.
With the latest firmware on the Kindles, it is now easier to download the Kindle books to a PC (Kindle for PC) and strip the DRM using the skindle command line app. The best single place to find out about DRM is Apprentice Alf's Blog. |

What is verboten is posting about exactly how to remove DRM. This is why I suggested Apprentice Alf's Blog for more information.
In the US, the DMCA makes the situation murky - but it is likely that it is legal to strip DRM for personal use of ebooks you bought. This is a certainly a "fair use", but it isn't clear if the DMCA trumps the fair use or not. As a practical matter, if it is for personal use, who will know or care? |
