You can have more than 6 Kindles (or Kindle Book Reading devices) registered to one account. You can only *share* books on up to 6 Kindles on the same account (in some cases the license is for fewer than 6). See the Kindle Myths link in my sig.

It works fine and opens mobi and prc files already available on my linux netbook. Drawbacks: Menu texts are gobbled away and the books seem not to be synced, so I still have no easy way to transfer my own books to the kindle on my iPod. Buying a book works only via iPhone and iPod syncing as the software can't open a downloaded book directly! No biggie, though!
If I turn my display to portrait mode, the book does only take about 70-80% of the screen and thus appears quite thin. I'am tickled that it works so good, though! |

Got it on the new netbook running Windows 7. Bought my first book, Stephen Lawhead's "Hood". Like the display, like the font size options, and am thrilled to be able to have access to the books. Now I just have to really watch my book budget! There's a bunch I can access now I couldn't before, and after this weekend I can't afford to really go nuts in the Kindle Store.

I started a Kindle wishlist at Amazon the second I heard about Kindle for PC. It so far has 26 items on it, reduced by the one I just bought. I wasn't really expecting the software to launch until the end of the month, when I'd have another larger than normal paycheck to play with. So now I just have to be patient and do what I've been doing all along with Books on Board and BN - whittle it down a little at a time.

Can someone with a Kindle and Kindle for PC download a book with Kindle for PC and then copy it to the Kindle via USB to see it if works? The book has to have DRM and be AZW. Thanks.
