Calibre definitely supports the K3...if you want to read epub library books, you will need to install into Calibre a plug-in that will strip the DRM when it converts to MOBI. This plug-in can be found if you google Apprentice Alf's Blog and search on Calibre plug-ins. Whether you are comfortable doing this is up to you, but it is very straight forward to accomplish.

Sorry FF2....you beat me to it!!
