Hi everybody.

I was so excited about the Kindle for PC for one clear reason: Being able to read at my workplace, an unbeatable way to take advantage of my downtime periods at it (my work is that kind of work that you can be incredibly busy for three days and then other three days with very little to do, but you have to feign anyways).

So my disappointment came when i saw that i can't make it work with a proxy. My question is if i'm missing some kind of setting to do this, or it is simply not allowed. If it's not allowed..it's this a "decision" of amazon or its just that the software its quite new and will be probably updated with the feature?
I'm assuming that there isn't either another way to move offline the files (talkin about amazon's books, .azm i suppose), at least without having a Kindle (i dont know if is possible haveing one actually).

I''ll really appreciate any ideas, thanks!!
