Greetings from the Pacific Northwest
I'm located on the Olympic Peninsula (western Washington) where I reside in a temperate climate jungle / rain forest. I'm a retired (computer) engineer as well as a disabled vet; I'm accompanied by Keiser, my Medic Alert Service Dog, and Mary, my lover for nearly a half-century.

I've written a couple of dozen books on computers and computer programming (none as ebooks and presently out of print) as well as a number of mysteries (available as ebooks in several formats, none using DRM).

For personal reasons, I'm interesting in finding out how to make ebooks I've purchased easily transferable between devices; in part because I'm scheduled for surgery on my foot shortly and will be very restricted in my movements ... but don't want my books to be similarly restricted.

Welcome to mobileread ....

Books that can transfer will be those that are DRM-free ... ... hope the surgery goes well.

Good to have your company, Ben. You can convert most files effectively from one format to another using the free Calibre library software ... IF a file isn't padlocked by DRM. If it is, DRM can be fairly easily stripped, but -- although there are instructions on how to all over the net -- it's only borderline legal (thought most believe quite morally justified), so we can't go into detail on the MR boards. Good luck and best wishes. Neil
