new to kindle
I am sure everyone knows more about Kindle downloads than I do. I am trying to decide how I will know which books I can use on Kindle? I read something about mobi, but I am confused. Will each download tell you its format and how do you know if you can use this paticular one? All help appreciated. thanks

Greetings, cboop99. If you wish to download any of the books on this site to your Kindle, just make sure they are in mobi (*.prc) format, download them to your computer, and drag and drop them into your Kindle's Document folder.
Have fun, and welcome to MobileRead! |
