MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Poll: How do you load your non-DRM Mobipocket books onto your Kindle?

Hi! I'm new here and loving all the helpful posts on this forum (thank you!).

I've created a non-DRM ebook in Mobipocket format (.prc) using Mobipocket Creator. From what I've read here, it seems that this should open without a problem on the Kindle (yes?). I have two questions:

1) What would be the best way to tell users how to load the book? Should I give instructions on how to connect the Kindle via USB, or have users email it to their Kindle address? Since most Kindle users probably download directly via the Amazon store, I want to be sure to give good instructions.

2) I don't (yet) have access to a Kindle myself. Would any of you be interested or willing to try it out on your Kindle? It's a novel with images throughout. If this is something that people don't feel comfortable doing, I understand. If you're willing and able, though, let me know?

Thank you for reading and for the great support system you have here for ereading folks--

Kathryn.

PS. I currently read books on my windows mobile device but am excitedly considering an ereader.
