Not quite. DRMed PDFs can be set to stop functioning after a certain amount of time.

If you change pc's or you update Adobe on your pc, you most likely need to re download the drm pdf.

So if you bought it from a site that does not exist anymore or where your download expired (Think Amazon digital) that's that...

I really hope the kindle will be under 250€. Maybe they sell it for less, with some kind of book club/monthly subscription, I would consider the Kindle then.

As I buy most books from amazon anyhow at the moment, it would be ok for me if amazon was the only source for DRM material for the kindle, although common mibipocket would be even better.

I really hope, that the Kindle will not be restricted to DRM content only.

PS: Am I the only one who finds the rumored design of the Kindle quite atrractive? I know, I have no taste...

You and I are the only two who have spoken up in appreciation of the design. Welcome to the club.

Many formats can be set to expire. It is generally a requirement if they are going to be used by Libraries.

I don't know why this rumor keeps going around, but Mowgli is NOT for sale.

I suspect that the module will also handle the slower sppeds, so it's probably going to be almost anywhere that you can get Cell Phone coverage, you'll be able to download. That's urban and the transportation corridors, or probably 90% of the population.

WiFi is definitely NOT ubiquitous. I don't know of anywhere outside of my house that I've been able to get WiFi, while I've been able to get EV-DO to work in 90% of the places I've been lately. The places where I couldn't get EV-DO, I couldn 't get wifi either.

You can get WiFi at, uh, for example, my house.
