Not according to what it says on the download page.  It says because this is
specially for access the copyright stuff doesn't matter it will read all .
I of course have not tested a book that doesn't read on the kindle but will
when I get home and get my wife to tell me one.

Still the only problem is books. If there not marked accessible. Then 
you still can't reed them. Just like on the real thing.
