Unfortunately can't read non-Amazon books.
Correction: Yes it can. When downloading public-domain books from MobileRead or Feedbooks, one's given an option to open the book in the Kindle for PC. The books are then stored in the My Kindle Content folder in My Documents in unaltered .mobi or .prc format. I like it much more now. Last edited by GJN; 11-10-2009 at 08:32 AM. Reason: Correction |

Is there anyway (if you have Kindle for PC) to remove the DRM from the Kindle ebooks? I've seen some ebooks that I'd like to have but want to read them on my CyBook.

I knew it! I knew it would arrive between monday and wednesday as I can't check my email until wednesday due to a server move of my mail server...
Awesome that you no longer need a Kindle to buy Kindle books. Too bad I get a "unable to connect at this time"... |

Can you make annotations on the computer? It says you can see annotations made on your Kindle, but doesn't specify if you can make notes on your computer.
Anyone know if it handles PDF's directly, or if you need to convert it? e.g. say I'm doing a literature search on my work computer, find something I want. Can I bring it into the Kindle for PC program easily and take notes on it, then export it to a Kindle (if I get one?) |

Thanks for the heads up (cause I didn't receive the promised email notification)!
It looks like it's a beta product. Here is a list of proposed future improvements. I sitll don't see folder support... why is that so hard. Quote:

If Amazon did not charge the $2 when you do not use their whispernet scam then there would be no VAT. This is just another money making scheme from the Evil reseller. |

Did I get that straight? If so... That just leaves me speechless and flabbergasted and it will surely be a cold day in the place that is usually described as beeing very hot and smelling of sulphur before I use this stupid thing! |
