Hi all, Peter from North East England
New user with a brand new kindle 3, itching to get started and haven't got a clue! lol. Will be searching the forums for help with my new kindle and most importantly whether there are any software programmes out there that will allow me to convert other formats to amazon kindle!
Bye for now! Darloman! ![]() |

Hello, welcome to MR and enjoy your new K3!
The best software that I know of to convert other formats to mobi (which will work on your Kindle) is Calibre: http://calibre-ebook.com/ It's free, and its maker is a MR member. It's also great for organizing your library. Best of luck! |

Good to have your company, Darloman. Calibre is ideal for converting other formats into Mobi for your Kindle ... IF the ebooks are DRM-free. If not, that takes a bit of prior messing to strip the DRM software before conversion. Happy Kindling and best wishes. Neil

Hi, welcome to MR from the Netherlands. Yes, Calibre is the way to go for your conversions and such. Also there's a good Wiki on MR (top of the page).
