'Safe'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I need to rework my whole collection. I love Calibre so much, because it makes this easy. But someone gave me a bunch of paper books over the summer and I am working my way through them.
Although I felt all first-world problemy about them. Oh, this book is so HEAVY! I have to HOLD THE PAGES OPEN! Woe! Seriously, my Nook is the best thing in the world.
I have the entire Lord of the Rings on my Nook. I feel competent to outlast a nuclear holocaust now. Now I need a solar powered method to recharge the Nook.
I actually recommend e-mailing everything to your Amazon Kindle address because it will save it in the Archives for you to download at will. But use Calibre to clean up the author and title first.
Look into your library system, too. Both the Nashville and New York public libraries have pretty large Kindle book selections, which are stupid-easy to get on your kindle (check out from library. Push large button that says "Get for Kindle". Push new large button that says "Send to Kindle". Enjoy.) I imagine many library systems are the same. I'm reading Size 12 and Ready To Rock from the library right now AIFG. Though I find the holes in library eBook collections to be mind-boggling: why have the first book in the Kane Chronicles series, but not the second or third, libraries?

Oh, my library can top that - how about having the first, third, fourth and fifth books in the Kate Daniels series, but not the second? At least they do have a paperback copy of it in the actual physical library.
Those holes are the reason I have volume 10 and only volume 10 of Transmetropolitan. It was the one that the ACPL didn't have.
I use the Send to Kindle option for PDFs and MOBI files.
Download the Send to Kindle app and then use it to send files directly to your Kindle without having to plug it in.
Download the file on AO3 (or something else, I do this for Ravelry patterns as well) then go to the file, right click and Send to Kindle. It will send it the next time you're connected to Wi Fi.
With PDF files you'll have to change the author because it will save it under your name.

I think I ran into a similar problem with the Nicholas Flamel series, actually, which is probably why I own one of them on Kindle but not the other five. I wonder if it's a conspiracy?
I just finished Assassin's Apprentice for a book club, and have since discovered that it is the only book in the trilogy of trilogies not available in Kindle format at the Brooklyn library. Way to go, publisher! (See Tech thread for my agonizing tale of Adobe PDF DRM hell.)
Teppy! Kingdom of the Wicked is on its way to me!
