PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless With the success of the Kindle I and Kindle II still fresh in its memory, Amazon decided to take its line of e-ink digital ebook readers to the next level with the newly announced Kindle DX. The Kindle DX is basically a supersized Kindle II, but it comes with a number of interesting improvements.

Apparently the answer to one of the questions can be obtained from the mobipocket experience. Amazon bought mobipocket, but you cannot read DRM'd mobipocket books on Kindles.

This tells us something quite important, if true.


It's kind of true. Technically you can't read a DRM'd mobipocket book on a kindle, but it's a pretty trivial process to get them on there. I had around 20 of them that I read on my pda, and it just took a few minutes to find and use a utility to do the conversion on them all.

I will say it does leave me with some concern for the future though. I lucked out 'this' time, but who's to say things will work out as well if the kindle gets surpassed by the next big thing.
