not sure why so many people are so convinced that you can't read any formats in the kindle without converting. you can read non-drm mobi, prc and text files without intervention.
oh egads no one is talking about out of copyright books that anyone and their mother can download.

We're talking about books that are copyrighted in with today publishers. The kindle is very limited, VERY limited options as opposed to the rest of us.
