I'm sure Dale knows this but since the OP is very new to the subject, I thought I should clarify by adding that this is true for the Mobipocket books. The only way to read DRMed PDF or ePub on a Kindle is to remove the DRM. Some people claim it's ok to do this for your own personal use if you need to remove the DRM to read it on a different device. Others say it's illegal. It has never been tested in court and the law isn't the clearest so the debate continues in many public fora like this one. At the very least it is against the terms of service laid out by the library and most retailers. It is also illegal for us to provide you the tools to do this, which is why you'll notice that we tend to talk around the specifics of how it's done.
