However, the "penny dreadfuls" that they mentioned in the article look interesting.

Owners of the Amazon Kindle e-book device will be able to view the books, including their original typeface and illustrations, of famous works by Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Thomas Hardy, as well as thousands of more obscure authors.
emphasis mine... I'd say this implies PDF or maybe Topaz?
