With Kindles, dragon-drop will work even when the AZW3 or MOBI has DRM, provided the DRM'd ebook was downloaded directly from Amazon while specifying the particular Kindle at download time. When you purchase and select "download to computer", you will then be asked to specify which Kindle will be getting the book. |

It may not be so easy as plug in an SD card loaded with books at first though. It may just be me, but when I bought my Kobo Aura, I tried pulling my SD card full of ePubs from my deceased Nook and plugging it into the Kobo and no joy. I wound up having to reformat the card to use it with my Kobo. My experience may not be typical though. |

Anyway, whether you register or not, provided your ebooks have no DRM on them, it's easy to plug in, open Calibre, find your book and plug it right into your ereader. Removal is just as easy. Note: I don't know what FreeBSD is. I have a Nook ST with an SD card and I keep all my side-loaded books on it. I think I get 3.71 gigs total with the SD card and internal memory combined.

Yes. I keep my SD card in my reader, hook it up via usb and can do operations like "find $EBOOK_LIBRARY -name $TITLE -exec cp {} /mnt/ebook.mount" with no prob. Won't matter which OS you use, the SD card will be vfat/fat32.

One point though, if books have drm, most likley you won't be be able to download them with freeBSD.
You would need kindle for PC, or Adobe digital edition. |

FreeBSD has packages available for Calibre and Wine. While I have't used Adobe Digital Edition on Wine on FreeBSD recently, version 1.7 runs on Linux, and I suspect that it would work on FreeBSD as well.

And I think you don't need ADE on the PC; ADE on a phone or tablet should work. And if you have an older kindle, you wouldn't need Kindle for PC?

I understand not wanting to have someone watch all your activity over your shoulder. But if all that is required is to go online once and register and then you can turn off WiFi and never use it again, what is the harm? |

My Onyx works just fine without registration or wifi and so do my Sony ereaders. They'll get my money, not Kobo. |
