Hello All

doxidad · 01-09-2011, 07:43 PM

I have been lurking for about a month and figured I should say Hi...

So Here I am... I am a avid reader and received a K3 for Christmas. I haven't hardly put it down since then.

I would like to thank all the helpful people for the knowledge that they have posted here. Maybe sometime in the future I can be as helpful

Good Day,
Rolf here from Australia, just bought the child bride a Kindle and we are awaiting its delivery from USA. Now you will hear from me/us in the future. I am the computer dumb one and she is book smart. I hope that we will be able to read EPUB ebooks on the Kindle. She is a ferocious reader and can read up to 20 books a week if she puts her mind to it.

Hi Rolf

Unfortunately Kindles are designed to read the Amazon proprietary format azw, and can also read mobi, but cannot read epub. You would have to convert epub books to mobi in order to read them on the Kindle, and if they contain copyright enforcement (known around here as DRM or Digital Rights Management) then you would have to remove that first, which is technically illegal. If all this sounds like too much trouble, you may be able to return the Kindle or sell it, then buy a reader which *does* read epubs without conversion, which is pretty much every other device. If you want to see a few in store, you may be near a Borders or A&R, which are selling Kobos and Sonys. Both of these are designed to read epubs.

Hope this helps, and welcome to MR.
