Hi

I have had a PRS-505 for a while now and it has had lots of use and seen better days. I'm now in the market for a new e-reader and I'm considering the kindle 3, when I've seen some hands-on reviews obviously. I use calibre to transfer books at the moment and I understand that amazon only like you to use their books from their store. If I transfer the books that I currently have on calibre to the kindle will amazon be able to detect that they are not from their store via the wifi connection, especially since the books on the kindle 3 supposedly will be backed up at amazon, and will this cause problems for me?
I don't won't to even consider the kindle if this is the case.

Thanks in advance

Paul
