Hi all,
This is my first post, and I hope you'll go easy with someone who is a real Tech dummy!
I recently acquired a Kindle eReader, and I am quite happy with it, but I am frustrated that I am unable to buy books unavailable at Amazon from some other source. When I found Calibre, I gladly downloaded it since I assume it is able to convert ebooks that I buy in a different format to the same format used by the Kindle. As a complete newbie to both Kindle and Calibre, I have 3 questions which I hope don’t sound completely naïve.
1) Am I correct in assuming that Calibre is able to convert ebooks that I buy in one format to the same format used by the Kindle so that I can read them on my Kindle?
2) Is it legal for me to buy a book from a store other than Amazon, or to download a library book to my PC, convert them to the Kindle format, and then upload them to my Kindle to read them?
2) If it is legal and I do it, can the Kindle software tell Amazon that I have done this, and is it a contravention of my agreement with Amazon on purchasing the Kindle which would justify them in disabling my Kindle?
