Hi everybody.
I'll be the first to admit that I prefer dogs to computers and cats to mobile devices but one has to at least try to move with the times. My wife and I both retired on the 16th of March 1995 and were both soon bored half to death so she took up computing with a desktop PC running Windows XP Pro along with a Kindle and I took the Mac route ending up with my current Mac Mini running at 2.4 GHz with 8 GB of RAM and an iPad 2 to go along with it.
So you see, we are both computer users BUT, we are not in any way, shape or form, "experts" with our computers. We know how to turn them on and off and it's a doddle to connect to the internet using our own Home network. We can browse the web, use Google, Hotmail and eBay with the best of them and we can even play a mean game of Texas Hold 'Em in the early hours.
What we can't do is understand the usual gibber-jabber that people use when they try to explain some new concept.
So what's your problem, Stevie, and how can we make your life better?
Well, I have an iPad 2 and my wife has a Kindle and we both love to read using these devices. Until just recently, we have bumbled along adding one book at a time from folders spread out all over our desktop computers but what we would like to do is have a Prog/App that will allow us to convert mixed formats into either .ePub for me or the mobipocket version for the Boss. We realise that it will take a bit of work at the very beginning to get it all sorted out but once it's done, we hope to be able to "Drag & Drop" book titles from the Calibre App's main page to our individual devices without all the faffing about.
So, is anybody willing to take the challenge and have a go at explaining how to make it all happen in words of 3 syllables or less?
We would be eternally grateful.
Cheers,
Stevie.
