I'm a tech dummy and see only that it's an Android device so I'm utterly clueless. I recall that Adobe and/or Amazon had this past year forbidden any ebook device from handling both secure Mobipocket and ADE ebooks. I loathe DRM removal and conversion tricks so I'm asking for all of us potential users for whom such tactics are not on the table.
Kindle for PC isn't available for Android, as far as I know.

But what you mention is the reason why I want a full blown OS. More choice in reading applications. Ereader, Mobipocket, Amazon, epub, I can read all of them DRM'ed on my PC. And if I'd buy a tablet, I want to be able to read them all on that as well.
