Folks,

I'm happy with Calibre running on my Mac Mini. I transfer the ebooks to my iPad using Calibre's Content server. While I preferred the prior method to transfer ebooks to the iPad through iTunes, iTunes 12 doesn't let you do that anymore, and we have to use iBooks on the iPad.

No biggie.

A friend just gave me her Microsoft Surface RT. 64gb "hard drive."

From doing searches here on the forum, I've learned that I can't load Calibre onto this Surface pad.

A few questions:

- I can't find an ebook reader on the Surface. I suppose I can download one from the MSFT store? Any recommendations?

- how do I transfer ebooks from my Mac Mini Calibre to the Surface?

Sorry for the basic nature of these questions. I just don't know where to start.

Leo
