Kindle eBook Conversion… Kindle Free eBooks
Amazon Kindle is an electronic paper display ebook reader device. Amazon said that even the best reading device would be useless without a massive selection of books thats’s why they have 270,000 ebooks plus top newspapers, magazines, and blogs available in the Kindle Store as of this writing.
Kindle does not require a data plan subscription, but users will have to open up their wallets to purchase books or access available newspaper, magazine or blog content.
New York Times bestsellers and new releases will generally cost $9.99 per book, according to Amazon. Subscriptions to newspapers like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post, as well as several international selections, will cost between $5.99 and $14.99 per month. Magazines like the Atlantic Monthly, Time and Fortune will cost between $1.25 and $3.49 per month. Connecting to content from over 300 blog selections, meanwhile, will cost about 99 cents per blog. – source PC Mag
I don’t like the idea of purchasing ebooks since I already have my own eLibrary (ebook collection) and ebook resources. My concern is how to convert my eLibrary to Kindle ebook format at NO cost. I’m sure most of the Kindle users are also thinking of this idea.
Kindle eBook Formats:
Kindle – AZW (native version, kindle version of .mobi), Mobipocket MOBI and PRC (without DRM) and TXT
Kindle 2 – AZW, TXT, AA & AAX (audible.com audiobooks), MP3, Mobipocket MOBI and PRC
PDF, HTML, DOC, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP needs conversion. Amazon claims that not all PDF’s may format correctly.
Kindle eBook Conversion:
Listed above are the compatible ebook formats for Kindle. I prefer to use Mobipocket eBook Conversion using the Mobipocket Creator Publisher Edition. PDF, DOC and HTML can also be converted to Mobipocket ebook format. But of course, converting any documents into TXT format is easier. Or you could search for Kindle eBook Converter softwares online depends on your ebooks sources. If you don’t want any hassle, you could also avail of free ebook conversion from Amazon, email your PDF, HTML and DOC to YourKindleName@free.kindle.com
TIP:
Kindle 2 had received criticism about lighter text that caused eye strain or mild headaches after reading for long periods of time. Some disgruntled Kindle 2 users have “downgraded” to Kindle. The solution is to edit the “source file” and make all the fonts as bolder text before Kindle ebook conversion.
