I have to remember that eBooks - and eReaders - are really still in the early development stage and each new generation will be better than the last as manufactures and publishers respond to user demands. Spoiled by paper books I guess - all you do is go to a book store buy the book and you're done, it's already properly formatted and ready to read! I'll get the hang of it with experience. This eBook thing is a bit more complicated than I expected. If a MOBI or PRC has DRM it won't display on a Kindle. The Kindle can read AZW, MOBI, and Mobipocket PRC files if they don't have DRM. TPZ (Topaz) format, but they frequently display poorly.
#Best free epub reader for amazon fire download
When it comes to what format to download for a Kindle, if the book has DRM then only download the Kindle specific. Its that I can fix things in Sigil, an ePub editor, that Calibre doesn't do on its own. Its not that the ePub versions are formatted any better. I frequently download ePub files instead. PRC files are less likely to contain complete well formatted meta data (title, author's name, cover image. Usually when a book is billed as being for Mobipocket or Kindle and is a PRC the odds are greater that it is to some degree poorly formatted. In my (admittedly limited) experience with buying books from Baen and Fictionwise, their books in Mobi and especially PRC (in Baen's case) are very poorly formatted. Your kind assistance will be much appreciated. mobi? something else? What formats should be avoided?

(I know DRM can be removed from a book, but I really don't want to get into that.)Īnyway, given the choice of file formats to download, what is the best one for the Kindle?. This is one downside to the Kindle, but I guess I can live with it. I am sure that some of the books I want are only going to be in ePub format, and it's my understanding that these can only be converted via Calibre if they are DRM-free. This will be my first foray into the world of eReaders I am computer literate but definitely eReader illiterate! I intend to download eBooks from other sites besides Amazon - there is a wealth of resources out there, isn't there? I'm pretty excited to see all the books that are available - and so many are free, too, not just classics. I am sure this has been discussed previously, and I did a search here and checked the FAQs/stickies but didn't see what I was looking for - if it's here, please provide a link for me.
