Of course, you'll have to read them on the PC with ADE or the free Kindle for PC app. Unless, you go to the time-comsuming and troublesome process of removing the DRM first. Then you can download to the Kindle and delete when you're done reading.

In order to get other titles--I also use my old address (at my folk's home in a different county in CA) to access their library and check out ebooks in all of the formats they have. If you know someone (really well and they trust you) in a town with a good digital collection in their public library then you can ask to use their address to obtain an elibrary cared and check out ebooks that way too.
The nice thing about Sacramento is that they accept people from all over the state (since it is the state capitol). You do not have to read them on a PC. They work fine with ADE or actual mobi support with DRM on an eBook reader without modification. You just own the wrong eBook Reader
