I've used a Palm ebook reader in the Garnet VM to read DRM'ed ebooks on my N800. It's a less-than-optimal workaround, but it does work.

In Linux, I can read Kindle books, which I guess are the .mobi variety, using the Amazon program Kindle for PC and Wine. Someone actually got Wine running on their N900, plus an emulator -- I wonder if that could work for Kindle for PC?
Before the n900 I had a n95 which had an app called mobipocket, which gave this possibility.
I do like my N900 really a lot, and will be even more thankfull when something like this would be there.
