Blackberry PlayBook ebook reader

The BlackBerry Playbook is a tablet made by the maker of BlackBerry smartphones--RIM. Like other tablets, it can be used as an ebook reader.

How can you see what format your books are in before buying the right drm removal file? This does not show even when downloading a book.

Most ebookstore clearly shows the ebook file format, if the site do not show the format, it must be the .epub file, and protected by Adobe Adept DRM.
This guide helps you read Kindle ebook(.azw, .mobi format) book to Playbook(.epub format), you should remove DRM from kindle ebook at first, then convert decrypt .mobi book to epub for reading on PlayBook.

I went to https://read.amazon.com to read books I have bought through amazon. Unfortunately, I received the message that my browser was not supported. Do I need to download another web browser - if so, which ones are compatible with blackberry? Thanks.

Sorry, but this does not work.  I had tried it but pasting/writing 'amazon.com/kindlebb' in the playbook browser simply returns me to the same page.  I suspect this only works for blackberry phones and playbook users are still left out in the cold.
