I do not suggest calibre because its like the iTunes of ebooks. Its bloated and very slow for me.
They usually have multiple formats if you bought the books. I would just use the better formats. If you want to read a comic book, just put all the pictures in a zip file and it will be a neat comic book. Ideally you would jailbreak and use a different program to read your books (koreader) but if you can't you are stuck with calibre to convert. |

It would also be nice if multiple formats were available. Unfortunately, other than Baen who support multiple formats and a few places that have mobi and epub formats available, conversion is about the only game in town if you want the ebook in a different format.

Unfortunately, false positives are a fact of life with any anti-malware. And sometimes, you have to take a leap of faith with certain combinations of desired software and your anti-malware of choice.
Most of the time, there is no harm or foul. But sometimes we lose that bet! Calibre, downloaded from the Calibre project site, has never caused me any problems whatsoever. I think it is a safe and reasonable risk to take to either whitelist Calibre or temporarily turn off your A-MW software. |

I'd echo comments on Calibre's good performance. The only computers where I found Calibre to be slow were on Intel Atom and AMD Zacate (which are around Pentium 3 level?). That's the fault of the CPU and not Calibre. On Core 2 Duo up, it performs quite nicely especially when paired with SSD.

Atom and Zacate were notable cases since I was *already* using decent SSDs on those builds so the bottleneck was really the CPU. |

1. address the e-mail to your kindle's e-mail address. 2. e-mail's Subject is the single word "convert" (without the quotes, of course). 3. Attach the PDF file. (No need to have anything in the e-mail body.) Send, wait a bit, the converted PDF appears on your Paperwhite I also use k2pdfopt, mostly for converting two-column PDFs, and set the output to landscape. I then hold the Paperwhite sideways when reading. Just about all PDFs are readable if you have good eyesight. Will probably be wonderful on the 7" Oasis 2. |

Updated and installed the Veleka font (which is a Charis SIL based font) - the ability to add weight to a font even makes Bookerly ok-ish. Still need to use the 'Hypehante This!' plug-in in Calibre with AZW3 files, correct? |
