The ePub's will easily convert to AZW3 or Mobi/AZW in Calibre (or with Kindle Previewer/Gen) depending on your preference.
FYI: If you do need ADE at some point in the future (for Harlequin, Google, Kobo, etc) you would authorize it to the same ID (email & password) as you have your tablet authorized. At a DRM'd book seller you'd get an acsm file which you download to your computer and open with ADE which will then download the DRM'd book based on the ID you have things registered to.

Thank you so much, that was really helpful. Non drm epubs I can download I can get into calibre just fine. I did that back when we still had Discoveranewlove as the epub file converted for some reason looked better than getting the mobi.
I must have had Adobe on my computer at some point to create the sign in for it. Its been years though and I don't remember when or how and I have had 2 hard drives in between.
Ah, that is what that acsm file is. I saw that when I got that pocketbook reader as per Blossom and got the free harlequin books on it that have drm. I had to authorize the reader app and then just download the book. Which showed as acsm.
I suppose I might just be specially dense, but surely I can't be the only reader that has issues with all this stuff. I wonder often how many readers and buyers these sites lose out of because its just too complicated to deal with all this stuff.
