I've never used a kindle before, but I can tell you that Calibre is a sort of third-party itunes-type program for ebooks(in the plainest terms possible. technically it's an e-book management program, but itunes for ebooks is easier for most people to figure out)
It's generally a good idea to read the instruction manual, yes, unless you prefer to puzzle things out on your own, and you're confident that you won't break something important
I suppose that your public library might not carry the right format for a kindle. I've never borrowed an ebook from the library, as my library didn't have the service last time I had an ereader, but there might be a way for you to convert the files you get? someone correct me if that's wrong.
You should be able to put images(graphs, or whatever you like) on your kindle, if I'm recalling correctly, but I don't believe the kindle has a color screen, if that's part of what you need.
