Ebooks in general

Ethandon and BOO You may be interested in my question // Calibre is it safe // in Technology
which deals with all the other ebook formats including Kindle. This enables you read all the other formats either on your ebook or on your PC. I haven't put it to the test yet but I thought you would like to know.

I can read formats on my pc and ipad without loading any other software

thanks modeller, will point my techy person in that direction and let him read it.

I couldn't read Epud on Kindle or on the PC which caused me to look into it . I expect it depends on which applications you have. There are about a dozen other formats and Calibre can convert them to whatever you are using or read them directly itself . There are other converters like Adobe Editions but on Google calibre seems to be the favourite.

Kindle - the device and the app/software, doesn't support Epub format, period. I've heard about Calibre as a file converter and plan to try it once the Kindle's here and running. Give me a heads up in a couple of weeks and I'll let you know.

I've now tried it out and I can read epub in Calibre or convert to Kindle .
You might also like to know that whilst doing it I found hundreds of free books on Project Gutenburg in a variety of languages.

Aww, thanks modeller.

however ive found a way round it.

Mr Boo downloads them onto a memory stick, then transfers to my Kindle. Far easier!
