An electronic book that works?

Can you resell a Kindle book? Can you lend one to a friend (who has a Kindle) like I could with a real book? Typically it's the draconian DRM that keeps me away from this technology.

No, no sharing except between multiple Kindle's linked to the same account. Kinda ironic, actually, considering Amazon's new DRM-free mp3 service.

Amazon also touts the fact that you can load your own Word and PDF files onto the device but buries the fact that they charge you per document for the privilege.

No thanks, I'll wait until someone puts out an open platform version.
