No, according to Bebook, the SIM-card slot is "for future use" (so if I understood them correctly, it won't be used in this version of the device - I don't think there's actually a SIM-card slot on the motherboard either)
As far as I know, Mobipocket DRM works as follows:
- You install the Mobipocket-application on your eBook-reader
- A code, unique for your device, (the so-called PID) is displayed by the Mobipocket-application
- You add the device to your Mobipocket-account (by entering the PID-code on the Mobipocket site)
- Any DRM-protected eBook you buy, will be encrypted with that unique code, so it can only be read on your device, thus making the distribution of the eBook useless, since other people won't be able to read it on their devices (because they have other serial numbers, and therefore PID codes)
