I have a Sony PRS-505 now but I am truly tired of being tethered to the lousy Sony software (not to mention the lousy Adobe software for DRM PDFs) on a virtual Winows machine on my Mac. The tetherless promise of the Kindle has a lot of appeal. Apologies if these questions have been answered elsewhere:

1. Can I manage more than just the books I purchase from Amazon on their website/bookshelf? It would be nice to be able to store all my favorite public domain stuff in the same place.

2. Do I understand this correctly - while browsing uploads here at mobileread I can grab one of those .prc files and email it directly to my Kindle?

3. Any other obstacles to going tetherless - just a browser wherever I am and a Kindle with the radio turned on?

Thanks in advance.
