Yeah I knew the answers, I just wanted to see what they'd say. I actually originally called to asked them some questions as well as whether you could use non-amazon bought books with the Whispersync on iphone, and they said that converted books aren't stored on the Amazon server and you can't put non-amazon books at all on the iphone(at least not unless you jailbreak, but then I don't know about the whispersync)

Kind of disappointed about that answer. See I have about 500 non-drm LRF formatted Sony books, and I really like the whole syncing pages read to between the Kindle and iPhone functionality, but if its not going to work with my non-amazon books then the main reason I would be switching from Sony to Kindle is not going to work.

If someone who owns a Kindle could test whether if you read to a certain page a non-kindle store book and you manually transferred the same book to the iphone app, if they would sync the pages, that would be really sweet.
