I'm just getting started, both with the Kindle, and with Calibre.

I have copied books (via USB) to the kindle. I have also emailed them through Amazon's server (at the special email address) before I started using Calibre.

I think the following is true?

- -If I copy the book via USB, it gets to my Kindle, but isn't in the 5GB of free storage that Amazon supplies. If I want to get it to my iPhone, I need to do more work to get it there.

- -If I email the book, its on Amazon's server. Meaning that I can also download it to the Kindle application on my iPhone with no effort. Not to mention that I can archive it when using my Kindle.

Do I have this right??

thnx...
