Indeed -- I'll take the blame! I am supposed to be packing for a trip tonight and I have spent the majority of my time playing with the Xoom. I do know that the three sample books that came with the reader are in .mobi format as the Kindle app loaded them immediately and I was able to view them as such in a file explorer. So far, I have not yet found the location where they are stored for the purpose of side-loading into the onboard reader but I'll have more time on trip. There are so many cool features in the Honeycomb UI. Android on dual-core steroids!

With reports of Aldiko acting a bit funky, I'll probably try Moon+ reader for a test of side-loaded epubs. If I can figure out where to put the mobi files for the onboard reader I'll be happy (and will convert more epubs).

Caution: if you venture into a VZW store to have a look there is a strong possibility you will depart with a much lighter wallet!
