Hi all.

I just ordered a Kindle 3 from Amazon and I downloaded Calibre to convert some PDF's while I wait for the delivery. I know if I had my Kindle here I could just plug it in and Calibre would automatically convert the books to the necessary file.

But I wanted to start converting now, and I wasn't sure which format to convert to. After some reading, I thought it'd me MOBI, but I wasn't sure.

Is this correct?

Also, if I download free books from Barnes and Noble, can I convert these with Calibre to work on the Kindle?

Thanks!
