New Kindle owner
After owning a Ectaco Jetbook, a Sony PRS 650, a Kobo Aura, an Aura HD and an Aura H2O I've finally moved over to the Darkside and purchased a Kindle PW3. I've had a few issues with the Aura H2O's firmware recently and the size is sometimes a little too big. That and I've always envied the Kindle's dictionary and little features like the vocabulary builder and Goodreads integration.
My new reader comes tomorrow so I'm just wondering if there's anything I should be aware of. I've heard a lot of hate regarding collections and I'm not much of a collections person but is there anyway I can make it (through Calibre) so that all the books in a series are together and in order? I already have them assigned series tags in Calibre.
Secondly almost all (with exception of the odd $1.99 deal that comes from Amazon) of my books will be EPUBs. I guess converting into the Amazon format shouldn't be a problem. Will I miss out on anything if I'm using converted EPUBs? I heard that the new Bookerly font doesn't work for side-loaded books. Is that true? I'm not a fonts or margins crusader so I don't expect to be disappointed but I'd like to take part in enjoying any new fonts if I can.
I guess that's all my concerns for now. Looking forward to tomorrow!
