In my home life, I only use Linux and I'm having a hard time trying to buy books because of the lack of DRM support for Linux (not that I'm a fan of DRM but that's a whole other thread). When I've tried buying Mobi formatted books from Fiction Wise, it says I need to set a code before I can download the book but I need a Mobi device to get the code. Any way around that?

I am enjoying my PRS-505 tremendously but it still seems to be easier to get in the car and drive to a brick & mortar store to buy my books!

Thanks!
