amazon kindle fact bits
Plenty of free e-books in Mobipocket format show up fine on 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.
Granted the PDF converter seems to have some trouble with graphics PDF's, but for books the converter works very well.
Non-DRM Mobi books, like free e-books found online in Mobi format, or files you convert to Mobi files, are already supported on Kindle.
