<baffled>

My planned strategy with the K2 was to order a book, DL to the K2, read it, then store it on the computer to keep my Kindle-bound books down to a reasonable number.

I thought I would then load the book back from the computer to the K2 if I wanted to re-read.

(Assume here a book purchased for cash money from Amazon, not a freebie or Gutenberg or equiv.)

So, if I remove a book from the K2 and store it on the computer, I will _not_ be able to reload it in a readable form back on the K2?

I would then have to either re-purchase the book, re-download from Amazon, or remove the existing file's DRM?

Do I have this scenario correct?

thx!

Don
