Welcome to Mobileread, sandiejay!

calibre creator, Kovid Goyal, is extremely responsive in the calibre forums, as are all the calibre developers! If you haven't already, visiting there would provide some assistance.

Hello everyone,
I use Calibre on my laptop, so I can read just about every format. Running Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.4 with dual boot, and have Calibre in both systems. I have been looking for a place to get ebooks free as most charge to get them and I do not have the money to pay as getting school programs takes most of my funds.

Thankyou,
Karl Kerkau
