Hmm, that brings up another question... I grabbed a number of the military
books on machining, electronics, and machine repair. I just -assumed- that
I could load up any book I wanted in PDF format.

You can do that with ease on a Kindle.
Of the 300-odd titles I have on my Kindle, only one is DRMed, and that was
one that I downloaded as an experiment.
All the rest is text, html, pdf or some other doc that has been converted to
Kindle's .mobi format.


I've ripped some CD's to MP3 and loaded them onto my Ipod with no DRM
verification, didn't see why the Kindle would be any different. Looks like
I'm wrong?

Only for current copyrighted books you buy through them.


And you bring up a really good point about digital libraries. Printed
books can be handed down through several generations or more if cared for.


Aye!
Now *that* is a huge worry - not just for books, but for photos as well.
