I received a Kindle for Christmas from my mother. She had remembered I had mentioned the library had free digital books for e-readers.

NOW I find out that the Kindle is the only e-reader that you can't download books from the library. A friend told me about Calibre, so I checked out a book from the library on Overdrive epub format. I then had to download Adobe digital reader. So now the book is in Adobe digital reader on my laptop and I only have seven days to read it.

I can't manage to drag it on my laptop from Adobe Digital Reader over to Calibre to convert and then transfer to Kindle. Any suggestions?

I was going to return it and get a Nook, but alas, I had already downloaded a promotional book from Amazon, thinking I could use Calibre to take advantage of free digital books from the public library.

Also any suggestions for free books more recent than 1923? I am unemployed and rely on the library to support my reading habit.

Thanks from a newbie.
