It is brilliant for managing you e-library and, with a plugin, can strip DRM from books.<br /><br />I have a kindle. Which is just great, and I love it, but not everything I want to read is available for the kindle, Calibre lets me convert from one format to another.Fencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478271943214944729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-75950030804902210832012-08-10T04:18:12.580-07:002012-08-10T04:18:12.580-07:00Mobile Read forums are a terrific resource when yo...<a href="http://www.mobileread.com/forums/" rel="nofollow">Mobile Read forums</a> are a terrific resource when you're trying to decide what ereader to buy. Like ediFanoB, I also have a Sony - mine is a little PRS-350 which I love. Try CowBoom to get one cheap. I also use Calibre, which works very well.

Not set in stone yet, still looking around. For now, reading on my phone (not as annoying as i thought it was going to be). :)Elliehttp://spacetalkers.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-34045659340569752222012-08-09T16:18:39.196-07:002012-08-09T16:18:39.196-07:00Man, do you need an e-book reader of some kind. Wo...Man, do you need an e-book reader of some kind. Wouldn't it be easier if the publishers could just upload e-books to a folder on an e-read, instead of sending you piles of books? Of course, it might be daunting to look at your e-reader and see that you have 247 new books ready to read. :DBretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741738070067590221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-6257797939805623982012-08-09T15:24:44.399-07:002012-08-09T15:24:44.399-07:00I know this kind of situation very well. There are...I know this kind of situation very well. There are often times when I post just one post per week. And time for reading and reviewing shrinks to a minimum.<br /><br />I learned that to complain is not helpful.<br />Accept the reality, be creative and enjoy the available time.<br /><br />Our flat is stuffed with books. Fortunately I have an e-Reader - SONY PRS-T1 since Christmas 2011. My wife and I own more than 200 digital copies and the number is increasing day by day.<br /><br />I buy digital books at Amazon but do not own a Kindle. In fact I buy digital books wherever I want.<br />There is an excellent free software for converting books called CALIBRE. And when you look around in the web you find plugins which cover the DRM software. <br /><br />That means you have the choice which reader you want to buy and use.<br />There is no reason to be married to one brand of book seller.ediFanoBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129248787624088717noreply@blogger.com
