handle the kindle

DRM refers to the fact that you can't view Amazon Kindle books on other devices (including your computer), or on other Kindles - i.e. no sharing, the purpose of DRM.

The Kindle has a built in cell receiver so that you can wirelessly browse, preview and purchase books using one-click.

The hack allow ENCRYPTED Mobi files to be read on the Kindle. So you can buy a DRM-protected mobi book and read it on Kindle.

Use Mobipocket software to convert PDFs to that format so you can read them on Kindle.
