What online textbook ebook sellers work with or can be converted to function with Kindle?

I am seriously considering buying a Kindle this semester to use for my textbooks. Any advice you can give is appreciated as I look into doing this.

I am specifically looking at these sellers, but cannot figure out if their formatting would be supported in Kindle:
Textbooks.com – http://www.textbooks.com/
CourseSmart – http://www.coursesmart.com/
digital textbooks – http://www.digitaltextbooks.com/

If they are in Adobe PDF format then you can read them on the Kindle. You may want to go for the Kindle DX, as it handles PDF better than that of kindle 2. You can read this review and it should help you decide which one to go for:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR23V08M2LNB81I%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Frdp%255Fperm&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

Actually there are some textbooks already available for the Kindle. Just search with the textbook title with the link below and you should know whether the book is now in Kindle format or not:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D11%26ref%255F%3Dnb%255Fss%255Fb%26y%3D18%26field-keywords%3D%26url%3Dnode%253D154606011&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957 (Kindle store)

Actually there will be more and more textbook available in the Kindle store, as you can see here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Ftagging%2Ftag%2Fkindle%2Fforum%3Fie%3DUTF8%26cdForum%3DFx1D7SY3BVSESG%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcd%255Fef%255Ftft%255Ftp%26cdThread%3DTx3V0FEBYKK196O&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

Also there is a good video here on reading textbook on the Kindle:

Hope this helps.
