Do you know if I can do this on the Kindle 2? The information says it supports several formats but I want to be sure before I buy one. Thank you for your input. Sandy

You can use Mobipocket DRMed eBooks on your kindle from the library. It is not a documented thing... but the community has created a utility to extract your Kindles "PID" that you can supply to the library. Then a script that you have to run which slightly adusts the file so it will run on the Kindle. These tools have been used with Kindle1 so the jury is out as to if they will work on Kindle2. Up to you if you want to wait. I am sure once some members here get their K2 they will be reporting on this.
For more info on this see the Visual Kindle Guide in our Wiki.
