Not currently, because MobiPocket books are encoded for specific devices, and there's no way (at present) to encode a Kindle book for a desktop PC. It could potentially be done in the future, however, since it appears that Kindle books are nothing (or very little) more than standard DRM-encoded MobiPocket books.

Has anyone tried it with a Kindle book file?
Several people have - see other threads. The desktop reader shows you the book's cover page and tells you that the book has not been "activated" for the desktop machine.
