I would like to write an app that can read DRMed Kindle books. Is this possible?

their site says KDK is to create content, not to access it – Oleg Mikheev Feb 21 '12 at 06:19

No, this is not supported for two reasons:

Kindle already has a way to read DRM content -- the bundled reader.
Amazon and its publishers would prefer only trusted applications read DRM content to keep the barrier high for breaking DRM.
