This eBook thing is a bit more complicated than I expected. Spoiled by paper books I guess - all you do is go to a book store buy the book and you're done, it's already properly formatted and ready to read!
I'll get the hang of it with experience.
I have to remember that eBooks - and eReaders - are really still in the early development stage and each new generation will be better than the last as manufactures and publishers respond to user demands. (Well, one can always hope that there is positive response from the corporate folks "in charge."
)
This is what I am getting from all of you knowledgeable folks:
1) If the eBook has DRM, best thing to do is download the Kindle-specific file
2) If DRM-free, try the Kindle/.mobi version first and if it looks like
crap, try the next step:
3) If DRM-free, download book in HTML or ePub version and convert it
with Calibre, Sigil, MobiPocket creator or similar program for a chance at
better formatting.
From this I am assuming that if you buy an eBook and the format of the file you download is very poor/unreadable, you can actually download another version from the same site without paying for it again, is this correct, or does it depend upon the site? (Perhaps I should stick to free books until I know what I am doing!)
