Greeting from Queensland Australia,

have been lurking for a while, decided to join you, when I received my first e-book reader. A KOBO.

Use the "Calibre" program to organise my books.

Thinking at the moment to investigate the new Kindle, if I can reaed e-Pub format with it.

I'm not working for a living any more, so I schould have some time to read and re-read some of the many books available from mobileread and other sources.

Good to have your company, Mukluk. Second newcomer from Queensland so far this week. I think you'll find that Kindle will onyl handle Mobi files. You can convert your ePubs using Calibre, but not if they are DRM-locked. Best wishes. Neil

PS: As I was saying to the other chap from Queensland, my own wee house recently published a neat novel set in Queensland and by a local author. If you'd like to pop into the bookstore section of my site (linked below) look for *Last Birds* by Andrew Thelander. If it appeals, drop me an email and tell me which format you'd prefer and I'd be more than happy to send it to you with our compliments. Neil -- ntmarrATbewrite.net (use the @ sign, of course)

Thank you for making me welcome in mobilread, will visit your web sites asap, and I'm sure we'll meat soon again.

I have ordered a Kindle but have, most likely, to wait until Christmas before I'll get it.
Just can't help it with all them new must have gadgets. :-))
