NightSG Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 when I can afford a Kindle (saving slowly) I'll be getting one. And doing the same thing you are. thank you for this thread I'm sure i"ll need it in a few months.The Nook Simple Touch is $99 at WalMart.com, site-to-store available if your nearest WM happens to not have it in stock. Since the free eBooks on the LDS site are ePubs, which is the Nook's native format, it simplifies things a bit.If you root it, you can even put Gospel Library and the Kindle for Android app on there. I have mine rooted with both apps, but I rarely use them since I already have GL on my Android phone, and all the scriptures and manuals in it (but not the magazines or conference transcripts) are already available as ePubs.

circusboy01 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi All. I know I said I was going to get a Nook. But when I couldn't find my first thread. I forgot what I had said, so I got Kindle. I need help I've got the Kindle hooked up to my computer charging. I connected to my WIFi and I'm registered. I don't know how to load the scriptures from my computer to my Kindle. I've got all sorts of links you good folks have given me, and I will click on one of them, and I have no clue what the next step is, Any help at all would be greatly appreciated Brother Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSG Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Ok, I'm assuming you're using Windows, so install Calibre:calibre - Download for WindowsDuring the Calibre setup, you can just select your Kindle, and it will set the preferred output format for you. Then you can load ePub files from the church website and convert them, then use Calibre's "send to device" option to put them on the Kindle.

I understand your situation. Being immersed in a medium can bring limitations. It works both ways.I paid $79.00 for my Kindle WI-FI, 6" E.Ink Display * $14.99 Power Adapter $93.99 Subtotal $09.97 S&H -$05.00 Promotional Certificate. $98.96 Total * Up to you, if you want to buy the Power Adapter or not -Promotional Certificate Because I have Advertising on my Screen Savors. Instead of pictures or pretty designs. Hope this gives you a better idea of what your goal is. Nooks are about the same price, and you can save S&H by just going to a Barns and Noble Book Store.

In store or on line. E-Gad I'm turning into an out of touch old man. Brother Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rameumptom Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I purchased my Kindle from Best Buy. And they are glad to give you a quick lesson on how to use it, if you ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just email ePub files to my Kindle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rameumptom Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 No, Calibre has to convert them to MOBI format, which the Kindle reads. I use this frequently on documents/books I find in EPub format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
