mmegaeraOkay. You can plug your Kindle into the USB port on your desktop computer, go to Amazon.com on the desktop, buy books, and have them delivered directly to your Kindle, sans wifi. I know, because I just did it [g].
And Calibre makes very lovely .mobi (Kindle) files out of just about anything you like, including .rtf files of the Miles books, and .pdfs of books acquired in the past from various and sundry places. Well, except for the DRM'd ones I got from Carina Press a while back. Oh, well [g]. Then you click one button and it sends the files to my Kindle. I know, because I just did that, too [g].
This is so cool I could just about pop, but then I am a) always astonished when new gadgets work just how they're supposed to right out of the box, and b) very easily amused.
