Hi, I too am new here. I just bought a Kindle wifi, but I am not sure whether it is the reader for me. I love ALMOST everything about it. Even reading my pdf files is tolerable: I cropped the margins of the pdf on my computer and read it landscape view on the kindle...

CONVERTING LIBRARY EBOOKS
I knew I didn't like to buy books, and now that I have spent a long weekend with the kindle, I STILL don't want to pay $10 for a book unless I can either sell it (currently illegal or impossible with the kindle ebooks), or unless it is the rare book I want to own.

I just read the above message and only understand part of it. Sometime this year could be December, a long way away. I too tried unsuccessfully to download an epub book from my library's Overdrive Media Console, (Eat, Pray, Love). I am on a Mac.

1. can I download Adobe Digital Editions, oops, checking, I see I already did this, and got this error message:
Eat, Pray, Love: IO Error on local file open
Path:/Users/etana.mbp/Documents/Digital Editions/Eat_Pray_Love.pdf
Event Detail: Error #2038 --- end ---

What is the " .acsm " file
Oh!!! I see that is the file format that downloaded from the library: filename:
EatPrayLove9781429515252.acsm

Okay, so

However the book will have DRM which would need to be removed before it could be converted for Kindle.
Can I remove the DRM, if so how?

Can I convert epub books from the library for use on my Kindle? I would be very happy and satisfied!

thanks,
