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.


The entire Amazon approach is a vendor lockin approach, if you really want to go for open formats use a reader which allows to read epub in drm and non drm versions...
You might loose some DRMed books (although the selection already is quite large) but you have a reader which supports a vendor neutral open standard!
