For PReader, I was going to say "yes" to Barnes and Noble (via ereader.com), depending on which format (and even with it DRM'd as well... I just recently downloaded a book from them and all was good), but for Amazon... I'm going to guess that the Kindle versions won't work. I didn't try... but from my research so far, I believe I was going to run into problems.
If you try it via Amazon (in the Kindle format?), please let us know if it works, in which format, and if it is DRM'd. P.S. I also was able to get a book to work via ebooks.com. I believe I specified the "Mobipocket" format. FWIW, I also have the Kobo book app on my Pre (which seems okay, but I believe that it only allows you to load a book that you actually buy from them via the Pre... I haven't seen where you can open/import another type of file)... and I tried Popelli reader, but due to some issues/problems, I decided to delete the app. Thanks.
