Dwig and Hellraiser06; thank you both for the explanation.
So Windows is more accurate: didn't know that about the MacBook.
And the good news is that I' ve close to 1500 books left to load on my Kindle, that will last me some years.
And it makes 2000+ 1500 =
Amazon's claim of 3500 books to be true!
