Recently I'm seeing more and more books that I want which are available exclusively for the kindle.
For example:
The Tyranny of the Night: Book One of the Instrumentalities of the Night
Chronicles of the Black Company
Hawkwood's Voyage
As for the last book, I don't understand the logic of it. It's the first book in the series of four, but Fictionwise and BoB are only stocking the last one...
My question is twofold:
1. Is there a way to buy kindle books
without having a kindle (some hack)?
2. If there is, is there a way to format shift it into mobi or htm? (mobidedrm perhaps? or some other way)
I'm not talking about the legallities of it all. I do not consider format shifting a moral crime. Once I have paid for it, it's mine. (Please do not start a discussion about this, there are too many around as it is

)
