New to Kindle 3, advice on whispernet privacy and my old ebook library

Hi Guys, very new to the Kindle having previously owned Sony readers only and have lots of ebooks already, was hoping to add them to my kindle, but maybe not now???

I am guessing that it would be best not to put my old library of ebooks on my kindle. These were bought by me but I would be required to change their file format for the kindle, this requires the drm removal and file format shift. The whole whispernet thing appears to say that they can see and record everything on my kindle so these books should not be there as they were not bought from amazon and have no drm................am I right in thinking this?

This changes my position quite a lot, as I wanted to load all my previous books on the kindle but it seems this may not be advisable as I could get into trouble? Not sure what the position is here in the UK but I presume removing drm and format shifting is illegal and best not to do that and have them on my kindle, even if I bought the books in another format......wow, what woul they do of you were to put on darknet books? Scary stuff , or have I got the wrong idea about kindle and whispernet?

So am I right in thinking that if you own a kindle and use whispernet, you can only legally and safely read books bought from amazon, or drm free books that are already available and not ones you removed the drm from?
