Jezebel2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have just bought a Kindle wifi - mainly for my Scriptures. Am trying to find a way of taking the ebooks I got from Deseret and loading them onto my Kindle. I have a 7" pad running Android, which I have used for the Deseret books in the past but I would really like to put them onto the new Kindle. Anyone managed to do this please?

miztrniceguy Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Check for the Bluefire Reader app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleWyvern Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 The best program I know for converting between e-book formats is calibre. I've used it with my Kindle and it's worked really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezebel2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thanks both of you, will give them a go and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miztrniceguy Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 What format are the books in currently? If they are .prc it will be a very long and intensive process. So says my wife who is a professional e-book formatter. She creates files in all the formats for all devices. She is one of the top in the industry with clients all over the world.If they are from Deseret they probably DRM'd and Calibre won't strip that out. It would probably much easier to just buy the Kindle versions. And disregard my Bluefire comment. Doesn't work on kindle either, but it's what I use on my Android tablet to read everything else, including .pdf files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezebel2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks. Have solved my problem by buying an iPad - can't beat them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miztrniceguy Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 iPad? blech, My wife has one. If someone gave me one I would use it for a doorstopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 iPad? blech, My wife has one. If someone gave me one I would use it for a doorstopper.A year ago I'd strongly disagree with you. DH and I have been Apple users for a few years now and for the most part have been happy. But now that I'm venturing into new waters, it's sooo refreshing to breakaway from the Apple conformity! I think once I'm ready to upgrade, I'll be leaving my iPhone and going to a Droid. It's time!Jezebel, glad you figured it out :] And you'll enjoy your iPad. It's still a great product.

Jezebel2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I love my iPod Touch, I had an iPod before that and loved that too. I have a Droid as a cellphone and that is just great. I am sure that the iPad will be great too - Apple make some fab stuff, that's for sure!
