I thought the Kindle only could read non-DRM'd .prcs?

Anyways, as readers gain popularity I'm sure people will start breaking encryptions (if you look at popular devices like the psp and DS, these types of things are being hacked within days of release) and maybe that'll force the device-makers to be more lenient with file-reading to avoid piracy, but I wouldn't bet money on it.
