   There's no topic off topic here, and we don't have a book echo   
   anywhere on Fidonet, so fire away!   
      
   I have two hand-me-down Kindles - an ancient one and a more recent   
   paperwhite model. Since they own the biggest ebook seller and the   
   hardware, it's easy to get locked in.   
      
   Will the Kobo let you side-load books via USB, or do they have their   
   own store?   
      
   Do you know what ebook formats it uses?   
      
   Lately, I've been getting more books and texts from the internet and   
   using Calibre to convert them to .mobi format. Lately, I've been   
   finding a lot of text and pdf references on the net and converting   
   them, as a pdf converted in Calibra looks a lot better then if you use   
   the kindle mail send-to feature.
