I used to buy most of my ebooks from BN. Then they locked up their DRM and it was bye-bye BN, hello Amazon. I still make an epub version of every book I buy, even though I now have a Kindle. It's been easier than I expected thanks to KindleUnpack. |
Thanks - I've looked at the KindleUnpack thread (and there to the Calibre plugin)....It left me a little confused. If my object is to end up with a good ePub, why would I use KindleUnpack instead of using Calibre to convert Amazon to ePub? I am fuzzy on mobi (old-Amazon?) vs. AZwhatzit (new-Amazon?). FWIW - I am a die-hard tablet reader because I really like cover art. I wouldn't even consider an e-reader until they came up with color versions (the Nook Color) so I could still have nice cover art.
