Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

Just came frighteningly close to spewing Mountain Dew (Code Red) on my monitor at work. Awesome.

Because books.
Help? I hate that I'm so clueless about tech stuff. I DL'd Great Expectations from Project Gutenberg, the Kindle edition, but ... how do I put it on my Kindle? Or was I supposed to do it *on* the Kindle?

Didn't need to say it twice.

Amy, I don't know whether the Kindle can read a .txt file without it being converted to MOBI. If it can, you can email the file to your Kindle through Amazon.
If it can't, you need to convert it and then email it.
I use Calibre, which works kind of like iTunes for ebooks. It's a free application, regularly updated, and you can use it to manage your ebooks, and convert the files to and from MOBI (the Kindle format), EPUBS, TXT, HTML, DOC, and so forth. That way I have a bunch of fic from the AO3 filed the same way as regular books are.
One of the advantages of Calibre is that you can get an extension that strips the DRM from Amazon books, so you can load them on a different type of ereader (like a Nook) if you want.

It is a MOBI file. So can I email it to my Kindle from my laptop?
Good to know about Calibre, though. I should DL that. And thank you!

Which against the ToS of both parties, I feel obligated to point out.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yes, if you go to amazon, you can get your kindle email addy and just email the file to your kindle.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So can I email it to my Kindle from my laptop?
You can either e-mail it to your Kindle using your Kindle e-mail address, or you can just transfer it directly to your Kindle with a micro USB-to-USB cable. E-mailing is actually better because it puts it into your account so that it will automatically be downloaded if you lose your Kindle and get a new one.
