The Kindle has everything i want except Amazon. I don't plan on buying any books from them, I live in the boonies of northern Ontario Canada so I don't even have 3G around here and I already have an extensive library of unread books but most are PDF or EPUB. How much of a PITA is it to use Calibre to convert my books to read on the Kindle and what quality of reading experience should i expect? Also, can someone describe for me the Kindle's catalog features? Can i still use the catalog it if none of my books come from Amazon?

Basically I am leaning toward the Kindle 3 because of the text quality, it's low price and because it appeals to me aesthetically.

Thanks!
