Re: Re: Amazon Kindle

Hi Kent,

If you don't like selling directly from Amazon, make prc books yourself
and sell them from your own website.  Unencrypted mobipocket can be
uploaded from the hard drive to the kindle through the usb port.

If you look at my website you will see that I am using the kindle for
myself (look at the front page to see what I mean)
