I delayed replying to this suggesting, as a long time ago I installed calibre, but never had any use for it. I just downloaded and installed it to give it a try.

Any program that does so much, is naturally complex, and this sure meets that standard. I searched to Help files, and found a topic on Conversion, but it seems to deal with ebooks only.

As I am having a bunch of medical problems, don't have a lot of time (or patience), so would you be kind enough to give the proper steps in "calibre For Dummies" format?

I also can plead memory loss as I am 87 as of yesterday. So, could you explain how I could download a .doc file directly from the Kindle? I use it 99.9 percent of the time just for reading books, so almost never go online with it.
