That makes sense.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

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.

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

Well, I found the Kindle problem, and it's not just me. It's also not just the Kindle, but all USB devices, which I hadn't tested yet. Something in the Windows Creator's Update, which is recent, means that using the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray no longer ejects the hardware.
Fortunately, finding the device in an Explorer window, right-clicking, and selecting Eject does work. Go figure.
