Kindle question

[court1429.livejournal.com]

I import everything into Calibre and then export files onto my Kindle from Calibre, too, so I don't know how you get mobi fics you download onto your hard drive from the DL folder or AO3 or wherever, over to your Kindle. Can someone tell me, please? Thanks!

If you're interested in simply converting from one format to another and then just adding that file to your e-reader, this converter might do the trick for you.

If you want software that converts and manages your e-book/e-fic collection regardless of type of reader, Calibre might be a program that would be useful.

I'm still getting used to the Calibre program, so any shortcuts or tricks you've picked up, please share!! As more things are going digital, we can't have enough info, imo. And I don't know about others, but I have a ton of fanfic on mine. and I'm sure people are going to want to know how to convert them for eReaders.

Calibre just happened to be the first conversion program I found when I was googling around and though it's a little complicated - okay, a lot complicated, but I don't use all the different levels and features so I'm able to keep it fairly simple.

If people don't want software that manages their e-library, there are a lot of other programs that will do format conversions and that's it. Once the conversion's complete, you just save the new file in whatever folder you've designated. Some programs have been mentioned in earlier posts and they're in the tags under e-readers.
