What I Read

RE: transfering books

It depends whether (or not) the books have 'DRM', which is technology to explicitly prevent you from doing this.

If they do NOT have DRM, then you can use a piece of software called Calibre, which you download onto your PC, to convert them from '.epub' (for "other" readers) to '.mobi' (for Kindle).

(If they *do* have DRM, you can actually still do this, but it is not legal and it is a bit more difficult.)
