Speaking as a recent newb though, I frequented the device forums (I was researching which one to get when I first got here), but after I got my reader one of the first places I went was the deals and freebies forum. Just my $0.02 |

What about adding a link to this thread (wherever it ends up) to the Ebooks drop down menu? When I first tried to download books, I kept clicking the "Mobipocket Download Guide" option, looking for this exact information. There isn't any real guidance on the Upload pages on how to get the books to your device.

Question. Were my directions clear? If not.....what else needs to be added? Directions on how to upload to a device would depend on which device you have. We'd need to get an explanation for each device, which is do-able.... |

I just wondered about adding this info (or a link to it) to the pages listing the ebooks available for download- so that if someone not familiar with MR Googled for a title and chose the MR link - could then learn all the options they have for downloading MR titles. |

Hi,
I have grabbed a few books from the Library, still got to read them though. One question, I assume when all I have is a readme.html link that leads me to a page saying something like I have to be in canada to get the book then I can't get this book as Im in the UK? |

If you are concerned about the copyright status of that book in the UK, then you should check that out before downloading it (although I don't think anything other than your conscience would physically stop you). |

You should be able to read mobipocket format on your Kindle, but not ePub. I don't know about other formats. |
