I highly recommend it for organizing your library and getting books on to the reader.

I use Calibre for my Sony and I mainly buy epub or pdf books. I'm not 100% certain but it seems logical to me that the Kobo would work with Calibre too.<br />Also the mobileread forums are great to pick up advice even for technophobes and the guy who made Calibre regularly visits and answers queries etc.<br />I'm not sure if that will help you but I guess it's worth checking out.<br />Hope you enjoy your new reader Kristie!!Kaetrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936055488367251592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-77435267205147426742010-06-02T21:14:02.882-04:002010-06-02T21:14:02.882-04:00oh, how I remember how momentous an occasion it wa...oh, how I remember how momentous an occasion it was to choose my first few Kindle reads. So exciting!!! I am so glad you took the plunge and are enjoying it.<br /><br />But a word of warning: you know how easy it is to get a paper TBR pile going? It is infinitely easier to get that digital TBR going. Somehow I have 100 books on my Kindle. Gremlins clearly stole it while I was alseep. Who knew gremlins were so into romance?RRRJessicahttp://readreactreview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-10235215576216724582010-06-02T20:52:43.127-04:002010-06-02T20:52:43.127-04:00Oh lord!!

I hope you and Nath can figure out how to drop pdf files on the your Kobo documents file soon. I hope there should be a place where you can all go for instructions.<br /><br />Enjoy! Oh and I hope you don't go crazy nuts buying books the way I did when I got mine, lol!

Kobo has just (last week) arrived here (NZ) - up until last week we only have the iPhone or iTouch option. I like my iPhone, but the drag and drop doesn't work very well and as for formats....GRRR! Let's just say if it wasn't for my lovely friend Kerry I wouldn't have been able to work out how to convert a PDF to ePub nor how to set up my iPhone to find Calibre on my computer. But...I love reading eBooks now. So much easier that reading on a computer.<br /><br />All the best with your eReading :)oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.com
