But I quickly found out that unfortunately they were right!
The VAST MAJORITY of Russian ebooks are distributed as FB2, not PDF, and not EPUB... something smells fishy here. It's an easy conversion from FB2 to mobi using Calibre. If this 60 year old man can figure out how to find the books in PDF, I'm sure he can just as easily find them in FB2 format.

(and how do I know? I've given three kindles to Russian speakers, one of which is older than 60 and doesn't speak any English.)
