Way to frustrating trying to get a library book to download to my Kindle. Another marketing strategy to get people to BUY, BUY, BUY. Forgot it, Amazon, no more money from me!

Calibre is a great software that you can use. it converts books etc, and can upload to kindle.

That would be so much easier! I hear that now you can also lend your own ebooks to other Kindles. All the restrictions on them are kind of ridiculous.

My library web site said Kindle ebooks will be compatible late 2011. I currently use a Sony pocket reader for borrowing books but just purchased the new $114 Kindle because of the wifi. Lots of free books now and I can’t wait till I can use my Kindle as well!

I’ve tried to make this work several times but when I get to the Terminal function it says command not found. Do you know what I could be doing wrong?

I’ve only ever tried Nook or a Sony Reader display models in stores. I think I’m just biased toward the Kindle because I like the Amazon storefront. It’s so much easier to use than our library’s homepage.

Love my sony reader for the ease of library rentals. My son has a Nook and it also is relatively easy, but downloads to my reader library FIRST then I can move it to the Nook library, not sure how it would work if It was nook only, Prefer the sony reader to all others, and I have tried all.

Ability to check out books from library is what sold me on the Sony Reader – works awesome. Why mess around with all this converting if that’s what you really want to do? Plus, all books I’ve wanted so far have been on both the Sony Reader Store and Amazon.

Yeah, Chenry. I talk about Calibre in my follow-up post discussing converting the ePub format. But you still have to insert your Kindle serial number into Mobipocket files from the library to get them to work.
