Converting Formats
As this is my first post please be gentle.
We have a Sony 600 and one of the authors my wife likes, Stuart Macbride has a series of 6 thrillers. She bought the first one, liked it and looked to buy the rest but Waterstones have Nos 1, 4,5, & 6 available as ebooks but no 2 & 3, how smart is that. So to my question, Amazon have the missing volumes so if I buy these as Kindles how easy is it to convert them to epub files to read on the Sony Thanks Neil |

The older versions of Kindle for PC are still out there. Just Google for Kindle for PC (or K4PC) Beta.
It'll work; just turn off the auto updates on it, once you install it, so it won't "upgrade" to the more current version... Marilyn |

Great
While searching for K4PC i found a blog with "tools.zip" which contains the latest scripts. They've been updated to deal with the actual version of K4PC. So there's no need to install the old version. Worked like a charm |

Also worth emailing the publisher as it isn't Waterstones' fault - but W is easier to find contact details for. |
