We currently have a sale on Kobo Aura HD in Ontario ($149) which seems a good price and I also have a $70 gift card that I can use at Kobo. However the world seems to be Kindle. The openness of the Kobo makes sense to me, but I have read that Amazon has pretty much sealed their books to their format. Just wondering if calibre would be the answer for me?
You can use Calibre to convert books both ways: ePub to Kindle and Kindle to ePub. Amazon books are no more "sealed" (whatever that means!) than ePub books are.
