I'm from Australia and originally had a Nook, this was brought back from the uS by a friend but it's the simple touch no lighting. I got a really good bargain on the kobo glo but I'm very unhappy with it as I'd have been lucky to use it for a total of three months in a two year period and it's alreaDy frozen beyond repair (won't reset)...hence I'm in the market for a new reader.

In Australia we only have kindle or kobo and I would prefer not to go Kovo so just wanted to ask few questions before I take the plunge and a kindle paperwhite.

1. I'd like to borrow off libraries who have ePub format, I do use calibre and have plugins, so would that mean I can use the kindle for my borrowed books?

2. When changing formats on calibre from ePub to kindle format, does the actual page and reading format change on the book? Does it have any changes to the experience of reading? Eg words smaller, dictionary doesn't work for those books etc?

Thanks for all your patience and looking forward to hearing back from you all.
