Hello
Hi, I am new to MobileRead but not new to books and e-books.
![]() I have a Kindle Paperwhite, as well as an iPad, but generally use the Kindle to read books. I typically read Mystery/Thriller/Detective with some General Literary Fiction (ex. The Signature of All Things, The Light Between Oceans, The Orphan Train, etc.) thrown in here and there. Occasional non-fiction. I've read 32 books so far this year (43 in 2013 and 68 in 2012). 2013 was a low-count year because I read the Diana Gabaldon Outlander series 1-7. The Outlander historic fiction is not my usual genre, but someone talked me into reading the first one and I was hooked. I use Calibre and love it to keep my books converted as needed and organized. The "catalog" feature of Calibre is so handy to open in Excel, sort by author/title/timestamp and copy the final files to Dropbox for reference. I also create a Calibre catalog of just the books on my Kindle with each's summary info, open the catalog in Excel, and create two spreadsheets based on author name and title name. I convert them to pdf and copy to the Kindle docs folder so I can always look to see what a book is about when I am away from home and want something new. I look forward to enjoying the MobileRead site. ![]() --Snowflakes |

Welcome to MobileRead, Snowflakes. Make sure to head on down to the Calibre forum. I'm sure if you have any questions members there can help out. Also, your input would always be welcome there.
