I have been given a 2mg Kindle without a keyboard. Sorry I cannot be more specific. It was a birthday present and I want to download books from my local (British) Council library to it.

I could not work out how to do it from my library website so I contacted them. Unfortunately they are still not allowed by Amazon to make their 1,000+ books available to Kindle users. Only if I have a Smart phone or Ipad (or similiar) can I download, I have neither. But I can download ebooks to my computer. They will disappear after three weeks but that is fine as I do not want to keep the book only read it.

My Library website says I can download software and get these:

Adobe EPUB eBooks
Adobe PDF eBooks
OverDrive WMA Audiobooks
OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks

I am interested in ebooks downloaded to my computer and then transfered to the Kindle. Can I do this with the help of Calibre or has my present been a useless present to me?

My husband is loving it as he has downloaded some out of copyright and other free books but I want up to date books that are going to cost me far more than I can afford hence the use of my local library.

Thank you.
