I would have hoped that all the conent on the Kindle would be available to the software, or at the very least, that the .mobi files on my computer would be visible to the software.

I recognize that the Kindle for PC software is primarily intended to support Amazon's paid content, to drive book sales, but I, for one, would be more likely to use the software if it had a more expansive view of the content on my Kindle.
It works fine with Mobi/PRC files from elsewhere. I have one open in it right now.


What I don't like is that it re-associated the .mobi and .prc extensions without asking. I mean I can fix it, but....
