Title: transfering books to kindle question?
Post by: GDS_Starfury on April 06, 2014, 12:32:40 PM
so I just reread the first 2 Honor Harrington books and now I feel like plowing through the whole series again.
the catch here is that most were sent to Iraq and all I have is a cd from one of the recent hardbacks.
before I do the whole google search blah blah blah do any of you have a simple method of taking the cd format and converting it to asomething a kindle library can use?

Use this: http://calibre-ebook.com

It has conversion options for every kind of e-book file and has tools to manage your collections, moving books to and from most devices. And it is free...  :)

The CD that came with one of my HH hardcovers, think it was A Rising Thunder, allowed me to open the CD in windows explorer then copy the file format that I wanted to my HD.
