Would you happen to know if the books sold on mobipocket .com are DRM free?
THanks so much

You will need to do some searching around here on mobilread to find out about this. I don't purchase from mobipocket, so I have read the posts on this issue, but they haven't 100% stuck in my memory.
As I understand it, most of the mobipocket books you would be interested in do have DRM. Specifically, for the Kindle there was/is a process to find a PID (unique number) that you could enter into mobipocket so that the books would work on the Kindle. However, I **think** I've read discussion that mobipocket doesn't allow Kindle format PID's anymore??
This would leave you with only the option of removing the DRM.
Alternatively, some overseas folks have discussed the option of using gift cards on Amazon. Look in the kindle forum. I believe it works by purchasing a gift card in one account and having it shipped to another account.
