|
 |
I know there is a post by Chiv similar to this but I could do with a bit of advice.
My girlfriend says she may buy me a Kindle for my birthday, now I have done a bit of reading up on them, but have a few questions to anyone who has one
Is it worth her paying a lot! more for the Wi-Fi model?
Can I just d/l E-books from NG's etc and put them on it?
What, if any is the difference between a Kinldle and fire? Or is it just the same thing?
Are the upgradable with regards to storage or can they use flash drives etc?
I know a lot of these questions can be answered by Google but I would really like to know if I can read full free (or cheap) books on it.
Any other tips you can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks for the replies, so I assume the mobi files are not encrypted in any way? ie: to work on one device only?

haha yeah organizing collections is a bitch if you don't use third party software. I just want collections within collections now and my Kindle will be just how I want it.
Also here is another collection manager to check out.

I tried that one mate did not like it at all, in fact it messed up all my collection names (chopped off the last letter of each one) I was using the free version though with no GUI so perhaps that is why.
Any other software you think is worth having please post in here. Thanks.

Does anyone know if its possible to convert the language of an E-Book? I have done a bit of research on this but have yet to find a definite answer. Calibre does not have this option but it must be something thats been implemented on some software somewhere.

Or do you mean which language setting the book uses, i.e. for the dictionary? Calibre does have that function, just click on edit metadata.

What I mean is: I have found a few books I really want but only in Dutch. Can I translate entire Mobi files to English?
