Can kindle books be read on other units?

Kindle books are essentially in azw or KF8 formats. Both are locked with drm (usually) and cannot be read on a non-Kindle device without stripping the drm.

The easiest way to get your Kindle book on to your Kindle device, is by connecting the device to the internet (wifi or 3g - depending upon your Kindle) and downloading directly on to the Kindle. Alternatively, one can download to a computer and then sideload.
