Igorsk made a tool that allows you to use the Kindle's PID at many stores to license your DRM-ed mobi books and read them on the Kindle. There are also scripts that break the DRM altogether though that is illegal in many places. As for Amazon's books, you need to own a Kindle to buy them so while I could technically buy one, strip off the DRM and give it to a friend, that would be quite illegal. I think there are some countries where it's not but Amazon's only selling in the US.
Hopefully some day the publishers will learn what the music industry is beginning to understand and we'll see more DRM-free content out there. I don't think it will be for awhile, though.
