What an awesome place!

I found this forum from a youtube video link. So happy to find you all and so many great resources available.! I live in extreme northern Indiana USA in the summer, southern Texas in winter. LOVE my Kindle, but starting to download more from Apple books when I can due to the proprietary actions of Amazon. I rescued my 13+ year accumulation of books on my Amazon library, backed up to my laptop. Whew, now on to finish the job with Calibre on this new laptop. LOTS of room for storage for now! Looking forward to learning more tips and tricks for using my reader!

Hello and welcome to MobileRead!

Just a note, AFAIK the DRM on Apple books cannot be removed, so you can't read them on any eink device, or outside the Apple ecosystem.

Duly noted and good to know! Thank you for the heads up!
