Phummus posted:Does the kindle also let you get books via Overdrive? I was reading up on this and it sounds like a pretty fantastic service at your public library. Sign on to your library's web site, check out an e-book with your library card number. Download it to your PC then side-load it to your Nook. Kindle, IMO. I just pre-ordered the v2 a few weeks ago and I'm stoked. If you can download ebooks from the library on a PC, I don't see why you couldn't do it with the free 3G wireless on the kindle. And, format-wise, if they are in a format that the kindle doesn't support, Amazon has an e-mail address for kindle users (free if you own a kindle) that will convert your document to a kindle format. poo poo IS BALLIN, YO, I CAN'T WAIT.

Khatib posted:I'm so happy I read this thread today. Can't wait to go home and set Calibre up. Wow it looks great in the demo video the guy has up. Can't stand his accent though. Or maybe it's not the accent, just the way he uptones the end of every sentence. I read the original calibre post and was confused about what exactly the software was. I thought it was maybe an OS for the reader hardware until I found: http://calibre-ebook.com/demo Everyone should go watch this demo. The software works for all platforms (OS X, Windows, Linux) and communicates with all e-reader platforms (Kindle, Nook, Sony, etc). loving AWESOME.

pienipple posted:Neither the Kindle nor Kindle app read epub. I think Calibre can translate it to a different format. If that doesn't work, you can try the format conversion service offered by Amazon by sending it to "<kindleusername>@free.kindle.com".
