Have been researching which reader to buy and it looks like a Kindle is my best option as there is not much available in Australia that is comparative and competitive in price.

Just wondering if some experienced Kindle users could clarify my understanding of converting files to read on a Kindle.

I have quite a few books I have downloaded from Gutenburg and the like and a number of documents I have created myself. They are mostly in .DOC, .HTML, .PDF & .TXT format and as I understand it I need to convert them to either .AZW, .TXT, .MOBI or .PRC format to read on the Kindle.

I assume I have to send them to AMAZON to convert to .AZW and that I can convert to .TXT, .MOBI & .PRC myself using Calibre then load them on the Kindle direct from my PC via USB connection.

Am I on the right track?

Thanks
Kevin
