Also I sure wish there was a back button!
P. S. I know about the forum for Calibre, but they tend to be deep in a subject or way over my head. I am on a mac by the way. If that makes any difference. Is there a back button?

I figured it was legitimate to ask here, being as this forum is responsible for more than half of those 2000 books!

Thanks
I know with my Sony and Kobo Calibre knows to send ePub. I would think there's a way in the device plugin to specify you only want ePubs sent. *

There is an FAQ List/instruction manual as well as video tutorial

I've also learned a lot by reading various threads in the Calibre forum. Yes some are way technical, but many are geared toward the less techy of us.

*To get to the device plugins, click on Preferences on the main Toolbar-->Plugins (Advanced/bottom row)-->Device Interface Plugins-->Highlight the type of device-->Click "Customize Plugin"-->Ensure only ePub (for example) is checked on the list of formats for device.
