Ellett ..... We had thought of running the Calibre App on my Mac (it is already installed there) and just plugging in a reader device as and when required. It would be brilliant if Calibre allowed 2 users to have separate libraries to make life easier but if not we may just install Calibre on her XP machine and keep the libraries apart. I must admit that since we found the World of e-books we have gone a bit mental and we have thousands of them. Probably in the region of 60,000 all told. More e-books than we will ever need but one thing is certain, finding something to do in a caravan on a wet day in North Wales will never be a problem, lol

Paw3pals .... Mmmm, going from what you said, it may be easier and simpler to put Calibre on the XP machine and let her have her own library set up on it to just drag titles to her Kindle.

Cheers,
Stevie
Read the notes (pay attention to the note #1) on the MAC download page: http://calibre-ebook.com/download_osx. I don't know Mini-Mac, but #1 could be a show stopper for modern (the recent model/firmware releases) device support. Currently, XP (Calibre) has not reached those Limitations.
