The playbook comes with kobo pre-installed...but there's no way to sideload ebooks and therefore no way to read books you didn't buy from kobo. Amazon announced a reader for playbook back in September, but it hasn't been released yet.

I have a few hundred books purchased from fictionwise and I'd love to be able to read them on my playbook. I don't have the necessary skills to write a reader myself.

Is anyone here working on one?
