Kindle books don't convert to ePUB well Wulf`gar Send a noteboard - 29/07/2010 06:59:16 PM
I've tried and have yet to find a good conversion.

The nook and Sony's readers support ePUB which is a standard format. Lots of free books are available from various places in ePUB. Amazon really only wants you reading Kindle book on a Kindle, so like someone else said, they've DRMd it out the wazoo. For that reason, I shunned the Kindle. That, and the wasted space of the physical keyboard. I don't need it ever, so why have it there on the device all the time. The nook is a touchscreen keyboard similar (though not as good) to the iPhone's.
