BOb- (I've always wondered - are you the same pilotbob from various Palm forums years ago?) Amazon's selection doesn't appear to be a problem, but I was still under the impression the Kindle format was uncrackable. I rarely buy more than 4-5 books at a time and read them before I buy more. I managed a Waldenbooks during grad school and amassed a scary TBR pile thanks to employee discounts and ARCs. Moving that collection 3 times taught me a few lessons. Tracking and backing up eBooks can be just as laborious. Although, I was in the best shape of my life when I ran that store.

Oh, pardon, ADE books from Overdrive won't work right now on the iPhone. The application does not do remote authorization, which overdrive books require.

Purchased ADE books work fine. You do not need a German ADE account to use TXTR, I purchased a book off the Sony store, authenticated TXTR on my iPhone using my standard ADE account, and was able to read the book without problems.
