Alot of good that will do but as we come into the NEW AGE of reading I HOPE that the more people that PROTEST AMAZON'S lack of fluidity and maybe they will stand up and FINALLY take note!

You're run head-on into the dreaded DRM issues. Basically each device/bookseller encodes and encrypts their books for a particular device (with the exception of non-drm content). Legally you cannot strip DRM, but there are tools that allow you to remove ("liberate") the DRM and depending on the format (mobi, epub, topaz, etc) you can potentially convert it to a drm-free format compatible with your device. This is not true for all formats or drm implementations and is certainly a PITA even if you can.
