Downloaded a freebie as I couldn't readily tell (I admit I did not look very hard) what format they support. Got a pdb file which does not appear to be Kindle friendly. Was hoping for a unprotected mobi format. Found the hardware/software requirement page. Bummer.

When will this multiple non compatable ebook format insantity end? What do business people not understand about meeting customer needs? Here I'll make it simlple: Require customers to do work = no sale. Make it easy for customer to use your product = sale. Walks away shaking head with a heavy sigh...

BTW, I realize I'm preaching to the choir here... more like ranting to the choir really, lol.
