4) I thought there were lots of mobi conversion tools... can you not use them to convert to unprotected mobi?
good luck

1) it's not just the display reset. every operation has a delay that's just enough to frustrate a fast-twitch guy like me. as to the page redraw, it wouldn't seem so bad if there were as much text on the screen as the two pages of a paperback book so the number of pages turns would be equivalent.
4) i've discovered mobipocket creator which has let me convert .doc and .html so i've hardly had to use amazon @free conversion service since then. but i can't count mobipocket since it does not run on the mac. i realize i can run it under bootcamp or emulation, but i don't want to have to. although i have to admit, mobipocket reader is a class app, one of the best windows apps i've ever run. creator is a little more obtuse and names and manages files in an unexpected manner and won't let me manipulate the builds and conversions as much as i'd like. but don't get me wrong, without those two apps the kindle would be much less functional.
