Ebooks in Swedish for my Kindle
I'm just wondering if any of the Nordic members could advise me as to how I can purchase and download books pa svenska into my new Kindle once it arrives. I've looked at a few sites, but they all seem to want a Swedish address attached to the bank card. I'm in Ireland these days, so I need a site that will sell to me here. Once I've purchased a book, how do I go about getting it into my Kindle? I'm guessing that Calibre is the way to go, but I hate to assume anything. Tack!!

If you buy from Adlibris, it's true you need to provide a Swedish address but this is not linked to your credit card in any way so any Swedish address will do.
Adlibris uses a watermark as DRM so all you need to do is plug in the Epub file you just bought into Calibre and then convert it to Mobi and you're good to go. |

Do you still have a library card at a swedish library? Some swedish libraries loan out ebooks as well. You just need the library card number to get a book so maybe you have a swedish friend who don't do ebooks have one that you can use.
