Hey Tom;
I received a Kindle for Christmas and have been hitting up against the
same sorts of things. I refuse to purchase books from Amazon through this
thing (why pay $5 less for a book you could physically own that they can't
"take back"?), so reading manuals is pretty much all I've done with it.
Head over to the Baen books website (http://www.webscription.net if memory
serves). You can buy a "month" of books for $15 (typically 5 books), no
DRM and they offer (among many) the Mobi book format that the Kindle will
read.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
