Wow. I didn't know that was possible. Just did a search and confirmed it. Looks like I won't need to strip DRM on my DXG books when my wifes K3G arrives.

I downloaded some pdf's and noticed the same thing. Not a fan. I did manage to convert some non-DRM'd epubs with Calibre and they look great.

Well after reading everything here and used kindle for pc since the first time I could down load it. I have just this morning made up my mind to order the K3 and a cover.
I sure hope I did the right thing. I love the books I get from Amazon. And I also have almost 700 books that I have converted so I can read on kindle for pc.
Now the wait begins. I guess it was the review that I saw from PC mag. that finally did it.
