Just Got a New Kindle
Hello! I just got a Kindle and I am here looking to see what kind of things are available for it. Is it just the Mobi files that Kindle will read or can I convert other file formats over, too?

Welcome Bonnie.

Mobi files are what you want for the Kindle, but you can convert other formats (LIT, EPUB, Etc.) using Calibre providing that they don't have DRM.

Hello and welcome, Bonnie. Lots of info here, so someone should be able to help you with the tech question. Enjoy your Kindle.

Welcome BonnieB and congratulations on your new Kindle. Here at MR learning how to do stuff is almost as much fun as actually doing it. File format conversion is one of the first issues to play around with. And there is a lot of expertise resident here. ~jim
