1. In what format are the 488 non .azw formated books?

3. Can you copy the .azw formatted books to your PC and read them from the PC (or does it involve a hack)?
1. All mobipocket format
2. Copied from my PC via USB (or emailed to my Kindle in some cases)
3. You can read (non-Topaz) Kindle books on your PC if you are willing to remove the DRM, possibly flaunting the law depending upon where you live.

I think ePub is a better format...still, the Mobipocket software (or Calibre) can convert unprotected ePub books to Mobipocket for reading on the Kindle.
