(Man, it's hard to ask a legitimate question sometimes without putting a bee up someone's backside.)

Let me try to rationally ask a couple of questions. If you know me, you'll know I'm not trying to hack, steal, or support global anticapitalism. So please don't beat me up!

1. Has anyone with a device capable of reading Mobipocket files (that could be PC or a handheld device) asked someone from Amazon and expressed their desire to purchase one of the ebooks they sell? Surely they understand that these Mobipocket files could be read on other devices. I simply want to know if someone has received a response other than "No".

2. Zelda and others have mentioned that the ebooks must be delivered in some ways other than whispernet. If they are available on their PC, can the owner of a Kindle also read these files on a Cybook, for example?
