I hope you enjoy your new Kindle when you get it!
Ha!! You're thread-stalking me!

Thanks, you two for the replies.

I'd suspected that home-rolled wouldn't have any DRM issues, but my friend is having 'second-hand distress' as a coworker has a Kindle and he's already an anti-DRM kind of guy. (I'm not whippy about it either.)

I use very little unusual HTML in the Rocket editions, aside from its interesting was of inserting chapter breaks.

Some horizontal rules, ellipses and m-dashes, that's about it for the bulk of the code.

As I've said: I've been leaning toward a 505 - Sony's got a great deal going, at the moment, too - but even at the hideous price point of the DX, the size has caught my attention.

Thanks.
