Hi all,

I have an Aluratek Libre which I really like. Now, my wife is interested in getting an e-reader. I think she wants one with a 6 inch screen (which takes the Libre out of the running). I haven't really kept up with the marketplace since I got the Libre in January so I have a couple of questions.

1. Which readers currently support getting books from the library other than the Nook and Libre?

2. I know the Kindle doesn't support library books but can Calibre be used to convert epub to Kindle format?

3. How much better is the new screen (contrast, readability) on the Kindle compared to the Nook?

Thanks for the help!
