Yes they will, just d/l Kindle for PC or MAC or iPhone or iPod Touch or Blackberry.

Agreed. But I can't legally read a book from the Sony store on my Kindle. Isn't that restrictive?

BTW: Apple will be more restrictive than Amazon. Although I am assuming you can read the eBooks you buy from the iBook store on your Mac or PC... but no one knows yet.

The truth is DRM of any kind is restrictive. you have to have the right software or hard ware which supports said DRM.

It is actually the Publishers you should be mad at here... not Amazon.
