*opens mouth, pauses, closes it* Well, I was assuming they were DRM'd since they're both very recent titles. (Thud, by Terry Pratchett, is only about 2 years old, and The Host was just released a few weeks ago.) But now that you mention it, I haven't actually tried to read them in anything but my Kindle.

One thing I just noticed; the filename for The Host is "The Host-asin_B000VMHHMQ-type_EBOK-v_0.azw". That v_0 at the end is typically v_1, if I recall correctly.

I'll grab the mobipocket reader for my PC and try it. Maybe the author/publisher just doesn't believe in DRM? (Yeah...right. *grin*)

EDIT: Realized that when I copied the filename, Vista was "helpful" and removed the extension. :P
