PDFS are probably not something I will need much, at least I don't forsee this at this time.
Yes, but the plugin must be installed to Calibre first.

The books will read normally.

Disclaimer: just to make sure you understand, Amazon forbids you to do this.....its in the user guide found http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=200503360.

Now, you could make the argument that you are simply borrowing books,and if you delete them at the end of the loan period whats the harm?

Thats you decision.

Also.......please check your local library for their selection of epub books......not all libraries are created equal.
