I'd much rather support such an entity than amazon.com, if possible. These folks offer e-books, but in some sort of proprietary format. I wrote to ask them what this format was, and their reply was unsatisfying to me, a calibre user.
Thank you for supporting your local bookstore!
All My Must Read titles are in a proprietary format and must be read via the app or website. Well, I don't want to move from amazon only to be locked into some other proprietary format!
Does anyone on this forum know what this format is, and whether it can be converted to read on kindle?
If so I can buy a new kindle and be done with it. Otherwise, I would perhaps choose something like the IPad Mini (which would have kindle apps and this new proprietary app) to read on, though I prefer the kindle for battery life. |
mymustreads uses an app that you have to use. You cannot read the eBooks on a Kindle.
But, you can remove the DRM from ePub eBook (not B&N and Apple) and convert those to KF8 for your Kindle.
You just need to go to
