Hi goodspeech and welcome to the land of different ebook-formats.

As far as I know the pocket eDGe natively does (like its big brother on my desk) support ".ePub" with Adobe DRM. That's not the stuff Amazon sells, they sport their own special format, called ".mobi".

You will be able to read those an your eDGe too, but not on the eInk-side I'm afraid.

You'll have to look for the .apk - file for "Kindle for Android" here in the forum or on the net and install that to your eDGe. After that you'll be able to read the Amazon-Books on the LCD (Colour) Display.

If you want to learn about ebooks have a look at www.mobileread.com.

All the best
