My readers are Sony which I love and I am now not sure what to do with the new restrictions on Amazon books from Jan 3rd. It has been mentioned that you can get them into Calibre with a specific type of Kindle.

I don't know anything about the Kindles as I have always avoided them like the plague but it looks like I am going to have to buy one so that I can import my books to Calibre.

My question is what Kindle should I buy to do this?

Also, would I be able to copy my own books from Calibre to the Kindle if I should want to read them there (mainly epubs but can be converted in Calibre if needed) or would Amazon know these were not bought or downloaded from them and delete them.

Any help would be appreciated as I really don't want to read my books on a Kindle.
