Often you can download these e-books in a variety of formats, but you won’t always find them in the format your e-book reader supports. Also, you can shop for the best prices at a number of small independent e-book stores. Everything from public domain books to well known and less known authors. Many Web sites offer legal and often free books. If you are only buying from the store designed for your reader-for example, Amazon’s Kindle Store or Sony’s Reader Store-you don’t need to worry about any of this.īut there are a very good reasons why you should know about the major formats, what you reader supports and how to convert between formats. In e-books, the same confusion exists-the Tower of eBabel, as some call it. This mess is like the one in the music world where you might find such formats as WMA, MP3, and AAC. Unfortunately the two different brands don’t read the same kinds of e-books. Two of the most popular today are the Amazon Kindle and the Sony Reader line. – D.R.Į-book readers are becoming more and more common. The screenshot showing titles is from me-don’t blame John for any of the reading choices. Calibre is much improved, and I myself am in the middle of Calibre-izing my own collection.
