Calibre
Good morning,
I am new to this sight but excited. I have kindle for pc and nook for pc and I want to put all my books on ebooks. My question is how do I integrate my kindle for pc ebooks over to calibre? I don't seem to know what to do. I can't find the files on my hard drive that hold my ebooks in k4pc.
I like calibre so far but not quite up to speed on using it any help would be great. DW

Welcome to mobileread ....

This would have been better asked in Calibre thread .... but ...

All I do is connect my device to PC.

If you wish Calibre to integrate/sync, the program should come up and advise you it is connected ....

First off - welcome to MobileRead, revdavidwms! Good to meet ya!

If I understand you correctly, you are looking to import the books you've downloaded to your PC (to use with your K4PC program), yeah?

1. Well, you just got to find them on your PC (I am assuming you are using a Windows computer ... for other PCs than that, I dunno):

a. For the K4PC app, your downloaded books should be in My Documents>My Kindle Content folder

b. For the Barnes & Noble reader, your books should have been downloaded to My Documents>My BN eBooks folder

2. Once you know where they are, open Calibre and select the Add Books icon. It'll open a Windows Explorer window where you can browse to either (or both!) of those two folders I mentioned. Then, you can select the book(s) you want to import into Calibre and - you're done!

Hope this helps. Again - welcome to MobileRead!

Happy reading.

Marilyn
