Ok, I pre-ordered the nook because it looked cool and new and shiny, and I'm a guy. Then, I did what I always do when I decide to throw decent amounts of treasure at a shiny object, I researched the doodoo out of it. What I found was that the biggest complaint about the nook was the cost of the ebooks on B&N, especially when compared to the same ebooks on Amazon. So, thought I, I'll just buy the ebooks I want on Amazon (after downloading their free Kindle for PC) and then load them onto my shiny new toy. (Insert chuckles from those far more learned than I, here). Little did I know about DRM protection, and Amazon's stranglehold on all their content.

So, I did more research and I read about mobidedrm, and calibre, and other mind-numbingly boring topics until blood began to dribble out of my left eye. It seems that in order to put the ebook (that I paid for) onto the ereader (that i paid for) I need to do something that is quite possibly illegal. Just doesn't seem right. And why would Amazon be opposed to opening up their ebook market to more people and more profits??

Can anyone out there help me? The conclusion I have come up with thus far, and it is a shaky conclusion at best, is that I need to find a PID for my Kindle for PC and then I should be able to use software to remove the DRM, and then convert it using Calibre into .mobi or .epub which I can then load onto my nook. Does that even sound right?
