True, but there was some mobipocket books too. I don't know how that works. I have just recently been introduced to Ebooks, and a pilot project of the National library have looked into it. It is only someone like me - going against the stream - that would go for a Kindle. But in fact, we have Adobe running on most platforms, and I would not exclude that they could run on a Kindle sometime in the future. But MobiPocket is something else - not sure if it is tied to the device or the card-owner. I am having some trouble in understanding how these things will be down the line. Written words being the cradle of civilisation, and now one has to question every aspect of it all over again. But corporations should not be the deciding force here.

And ? why should there not be an offer for Kindle owners ?
