ebooks purchased from Amazon for the Kindle are DRM encumbered.
They are an evilution of mobi format with DRM. They cannot be read
outside the Kindle, sorry.
However, the Kindle can read regular DRM free mobi format books, like
those from Baen publishing. In which case, you would be going the other
way. :)
However, I do not not have experience with a Kindle. I do my ebook
reading on a Nokia N810 MID, for the very reason mentioned.
I would expect to do all my ebook reading on the Kindle. My interest is
in downloading my own PDF files onto the Kindle for reading away from my
computer. My concern is whether Fedora supports the Kindle usb
interface.
Good luck!
Thanks.
