I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

can't you just email docs to your Kindle?

I could, but I have a whole system with collections and fanfic and stuff.

Because books.

That makes sense.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's what I do, but I was pretty sure you're way more organized and invested and stuff.

You know what I really want on the Kindle (and if someone knows how and can tell me I'll love you) is the ability to sort titles by % read. I got tons of TBR stuff but once it falls down the list enough I'll never see it again most likely.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Mm, that would be nice. I just sort by recent, scroll to the last page and skim titles going up until I come to something with a low percentage. It's not great, but it's a system.

My problem is I'm totally visual, so with the Kindle, out of sight means out of mind. I don't use it as much as I read physical books, and I just completely forget what I have on there.

I do a lot of side-loading things onto my Kindle with Calibre.

Oh, that reminds me of a question I had! If someone were to get UK-only Kindle books saved to a USB drive, they should be able to be opened in Calibre and saved as something other than .mobi files, right? And then be loaded onto a non-UK Kindle?

(I am going to get the digital versions of those Tanith Lee books one way or another.)

I'm pretty sure Calibre can crack just about anything. Is it a DRM issue?

I think you'd need Calibre set up to strip copy protection from Kindle files, Jilli, but otherwise, yeah.

I think it is? The digital versions of the books have never been made available in the US, and Amazon wouldn't let me purchase them when I was in the UK, because my account was linked to a US address.

I can't remember if I've done that yet. Time to check!
