Happy to find this
Hello folks just signing in. I received my Kindle today and will have a lot of questions. Glad to find a group that covers this area. My present concern that had me searching for a site like this was to find out if the Kindle can be modified or files can be modified so that other sites can be utilized for downloading books. I'll be wandering through the forums to see what I can find.....Happy to be here.

Hi royboy10:

Welcome to MobileRead, and thank you for the nice comments about this site.

I don't have a kindle, so I can't answer your question. However, there are a number of people here who will jump right in to help and to answer any questions.

Also, you'll find a lot of free, public domain books here for your Reader, lovingly assembled by a number of Editors and contributors to this site.

Again, let me extend a very warm welcome.


Don

Welcome. I love my Kindle and would spend much too much money on new books for it if I didn't *force* myself to alternate reading on the Kindle with the many paper books that I have stacked around the house. My TBR stack is quite large and I'm having to discipline myself to whittle it down.

Be sure to check out all the Kindle info here at MobileRead and of course, avail yourself of the free books.

I don't have a Kindle but I have learned the following:
  • Kindle can read Mobipocket books as long as they don't have DRM (Digital Rights Management)
  • BookDesigner can make Mobipocket format books from text, DOC, RTF, and HTML files
  • Better quality Mobipocket books can be made from Mobi Creator (HarryT has a tutorial around someplace on this site about how to do it)
  • You can download free Mobipocket books from MobileRead and load them to your Kindle through your PC

I hope this helps and welcome to MobileRead.
