Hi

I have obviously got myself a Kindle and well impressed I am. I have purchased a few from Amazon.co.uk but my sister has passed me a few books in the lit format. I have read some posts here and see that they can indeed be converted and went ahead and downloaded Calibre. And there is the problem.

The Help button does not work. Everything just does nothing. I click to tick a box and it does nothing. I get it to the point where I have chosen the file to convert clicked OK and waited and waited adn waited and waited. Does it really take over 20 minutes to convert?

Can someone please help me out here as I feel I am wasting my time with Calibre even though it has been highly recommended?

Thanks in advance!
