Since Amazon has all of the apps for macs, pc's, blackberry, iphone, they already sell books to folks who do not have a REAL Kindle. But they are drm-ed to Amazon's standards. So once purchased, depending on your moral code and your view of legal issues, you can strip drm and convert.

edited to add: actually, if I understand the stripping process, you actually need a NON-kindle version of the ebook to process - not the version on the kindle. So you need the pc or mac (other?) version downloaded to your computer
