1. You can use Calibre to manage and upload eBooks to the Kindle or you can just plug in your Kindle to your PC/MacBook and manually add the books to the Kindle.
2. Depends on the book. Most books look good but there are those that look like poop. PDF's are another monster. I have not used a K2 with the 2.5 firmware but with the 2.3 it shrunk it to fit the screen. Something that is formatted for an 11.5 x 8.5 sheet of paper will be so small it will be hard to read.
3. No. You can read any DRM free eBook formatted in mobi
4. No
5. With Wispernet turned off I can read for almost 2 weeks between charges. With wispernet on I get about a week.
