Like many others I have just seen the message on Amazon that I am not going to be able to download my e-books anymore (UK, saw the message yesterday) so it looks like I am going to have to find an alternative to Amazon for my books.
And this is where I am going to need some help/ hand holding
I download and De-DRM all of my ebooks via Calibre (all of which have been from Amazon), and it's easy, download the file add to calibre and its done.
I've looked into buying from other sources i.e. Kobo etc as I understand you can convert most (?) ebook formats to a Kindle format via calibre but I really, really don't understand all of this involvement of having to run it through Adobe digital editions (think thats what it's called)
I've looked at some online tutorials but they confused me even more, why cant you just download a file like you do with Amazon?
I understand if I wish to move to another Ebook provider I'm going to have to learn a new procedure of getting books to Calibre/ my Kindle, if someone could help me with understanding this procedure/ talk me through the steps I would be really grateful!
Any tips/ hints/ instructions greatly appreciated.
Just one note I'm in the UK so would like to stick to stores that operate in the UK to avoid having to convert currency etc (which my bank will charge me to do)
