amazon kindle fact bits
Kindles can read a variety of non-proprietary, non-DRM'ed formats. They read TXT, HTML, JPEG, and non-DRM Mobi files directly.
The Kindle DRM wasn't hacked to REMOVE the DRM from Kindle purchases, but added to other books so that they too could be read on the Kindle.

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