Only unprotected .mobi books are compatible with the Kindle. You can use books in .mobi format from Project Gutenberg, for example, but not e-books that you've purchased and have DRM.

Can you read borders books on your kindle?

The short answer is no, you cannot read Borders books on Kindle. If you see an advert by Borders stating that you can read their e-books on any reader, they are simply lying. The ebook would need to DRM free (no rights management) and would then need to be converted to azw or mobi format. But if it has DRM as most books do, you cannot convert them.


Can you get e-books from barnes and noble to your kindle even if you don't have a nook?

You can, but it probably won't work unless it's compatible. The Kindle can read a great deal of formats, but it's preferable that you use their own: .azw format. It will read DRM-free .mobi (so public domain books are fine) and PDFs, etc., but don't purchase ebooks from other major online stores until you've made sure they're compatible.
