Gris speaks for me: Calibre is the way I manage my ebook collection. While that includes stripping DRM, it also includes managing out-of-copyright books, fic, and ebooks that don't have DRM to begin with.

That said, if I make the mistake of trying to load an Amazon-purchased book that I stripped DRM from onto the Kindle, the Kindle squawks at me and demands that I delete it. It's really annoying.

Everything I use Calibre for is legit. It's very useful for turning .doc and .rtf files into ePub or Mobi. I also use it for managing my e-reader, but nothing in my library has ever had DRM.

I use it to strip DRM off of things I buy on Kobo to put on my Kindle. I've found a lot of popular fiction isn't available for Kindle in Canada due to rights issues. (Including free versions of public domain books...WTF!) Every single thing I've stripped is something I've paid for, and I'm not sharing it, so I don't feel too badly about it.

Don't get me started about not being able to subscribe to The New Yorker...that's the kind of thing that's perfect to read on the Kindle.

So, I had asked this question ages ago, and since then the add-on I'd been pointed toward has gone from freeware to payware (whatever the term is, and it's been awhile since I last checked).

So, I'm looking, again, for a way to display webpages in a standardized way (text-heavy) so that I'm not dealing with funky colours for font and background, or weird narrow columns of text, or text running off the page.

I'd google this, but I don't even know the language to use.

What browser are you using?

(eta: I assume you want something like Readability : [link] )

or the instapaper text bookmarklet

the clearly browser extension also works

I have an old SATA 3 drive 4 width X 6 long by 1 high. It looks like most of the USB cases for turning SATA into external drives are for 2.5 inch Sata. Are there cases out there for this larger size? Also I see SATA USB "kits", SATA USB "cases" and SATA USB "connectors". I want a case with a USB cable that I just slip my SATA into and it becomes an external drive I plug into a USB port. (probably after reformmatting) Am I looking for a "case" or a "Kit"?

Well, there should be options for a 3.5" SATA drive. This kind of device is a handy one:

It's a SATA dock. You just plug your drive into it and hook it up via USB. Not the most cosmetically appealing of devices, but it can be really handy if you need to read something off of a hard drive real quick and work as your external drive the rest of the time.

Thank Gud. That is what I was looking for. It just seem there a lot of cases out there with no power supply, and no USB cable included.
