this probably all seems so silly. I used a Kobo for years before coming to own this Kindle. and nothing has made sense since. I could take or leave the grid-view covers. I never use nor intend to use the social media functions, and Whispersync has no appeal; the book/doc sorting however is important as I use the device to back up important papers I keep with me. the fixation on all of this stems from not understanding why these hurdles need even be addressed, and feeling that maybe I must be missing something if I can't make it "all work." if the device can do all of these things, why the need for voodoo and incantations to make it happen? I remember why, because simplicity would simply hit Amazon in the wallet. but I digress. no, I don't know why format conversion with one feature enabled kills the functionality of another, unrelated, feature of the device/file, and I have extensively tested the processes with fresh files, clean devices, and every combination of parameters I could cook up.
anyway, I'm happy with the equation that seems to work so far. I just want to read books and play with the tech to what extent I know how. this is a good forum. keep at it.
