You mean the *Amazon Kindle Store* content is out because of DRM. If you think of Kindle as just a personal electronic device, just like your mobile or mp3 player, it works too. You don't have to buy Amazon Kindle content with DRM to use it. I buy DRM free content from Pragmatic and Oreilly all the time and copy it to Kindle using the FOSS software Calibre. You can read all of the free books on Gutenberg on Kindle by using the mobi format, and Calibre can even convert epubs to mobi formats for you to read on the Kindle. As Karanbir said, once you start reading on the Kindle, you would find it difficult to go back. Of course, not all physical book reading experiences transfer to Kindle - it is not so good at random access. But overall, you wouldn't have issue with the transition. - Sandip _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
