Project Gutenberg and other places.

I'm happy with my Sony at the mo, but a friend of a friend is thinking about buying an ereader and being swayed towards the Kindle. However, I've read that it's not possible to put project gut and books from other places which are not Amazon on the reader.

For example, if Susanna (the person in question) wanted to put a gutenberg book or trawl the darkside - sorry, but she's not a member of MR and I'm not responsible for her morals - on the Kindle, would it be technically possible? Or do Kindle and Co limit books to those downloaded from their "official" site?

I hope this makes sense.

I'm trying to talk her into a Sony, but she's seen a Kindle a closer friend of hers has and has the kindle bug!
