Can Calibre convert?
Can Calibre convert?
OK so that brings up two questions.
1) Where does the Kindle App store its books on my phone/tablet?
2) How do I use Calibre to organize them? Do I have to download them from the tablet to the PC, convert them in Calibre from the Amazon format to some other format, then reupload them to the tablet. Then do I have to use a certain progam to read them? I just want something where I can open it up and go to Collections/Folders/Whatever and choose things like Cookbooks, kids books, Sci Fi, etc.
Thanks.

I have books listed in the Kindle app, but not in that sub folder. The only thing I see in there are book cover image files.
I was 99% sure Amazon DRM'd their books.
99% of the books I've gotten from Amazon were ones that were on sale for Free for a specific day or two. I'll have to give Calibre a try at some point when I find some free time. heh.
Most of them are. There are some by indie authors that are not DRM infested, but everything from the big publishers are. If you use Calibre with 3rd party plug-ins to strip the DRM then you're fine. Without the 3rd party plugins you will NOT be able to convert DRM'd ebooks.

I'm reluctant to strip DRM out of stuff. I always wonder about the legality of doing so.
It all depends on where you live. I'm in Canada, so far it's legal here. Even if I wasn't living here I would still do it. I bought it, it's mine (yes I know I only bought a licence). As long as people aren't stripping it to share the book around I don't think anyone is going to care if you strip it.
