ebooks purchased from Amazon for the Kindle are DRM encumbered.

They are an evilution of mobi format with DRM.   They cannot be read 
outside the Kindle, sorry.

However, the Kindle can read regular DRM free mobi format books, like 
those from Baen publishing.  In which case, you would be going the other 
way. :)

However, I do not not have experience with a Kindle.  I do my ebook 
reading on a Nokia N810 MID, for the very reason mentioned.

Good luck!
