I’ve never tried to convert to epub first. Can you perhaps provide a more detailed set of instructions?
Yes to both perhaps. I used my original first generation Kindle. We’ve got 2 of them. We actually use them still. Hubby has replaced the batteries on them and done some other work but they both still run just fine. I do have a paperwhite but it’s on loan to a friend who shares our tastes in books. I figure it’s about like having a kid on your book account so I send things to it that I know he will like.
I can’t dive into this question again today but I may have some time again tomorrow. I’ll post back what I find out.
