Ive bought a bunch of “Take Control” ebooks over the years. I usually read them in PDF format on the Mac or iPad.
I’m thinking about getting a Kindle on Black Friday. Is it possible to put books (in Kindle format, of course) into a Kindle, if I didn’t buy the book from Amazon?
I have all of my eBooks stored in Calibre, it’s like iTunes for eBooks. You can store different file formats, make sure the metadata is right, etc. I like to tag my books (primarily fiction vs non-fiction), and have it sync all of my function to my Kindle - and download the non-function in iBooks on my iPad.
One major tip i learned reading my PDF/Ebooks is type CONVERT in the subject line if you are emailing them to your kindle
it will send to kindle and convert to an easier readable format
sidebar: I’m going to look into this calibre bc my ebook management is a mess i have stuff on USB, stuff on g-drive, books in evernote - need to get organized
The UI is indeed in need of an update but it does its job so well that I dont mind
Like Rosemary said, I use it as a place to store and manage all my ebooks. Load the ones on to my kindle that I plan on reading in the near future and remove them as I tick them off.
