Managing your e-book collection

Kindle

While I have been waiting for my Kindle e-book reader to arrive I have been looking around the internet for tools to manage my soon to be e-book collection. Today I found a very useful program called Calibre. This program allows me to sync my collection with my portable e-book reader as well as converting e-books from one format to another. You can also read book and other publications from the built in Calibre reader. If you are currently exploring e-book readers I suggest you take a look at Calibre if you find it valuable why not make a donation to the developer to help continue the development of this product. To find out more about Calibre I have included a link to their site.

While I was looking around the net I found a very useful Wiki that gives a lot of information on the various e-book formats and what portable devices support what format. In fact this Wiki is a real one stop information centre for all things e-book. To start your journey into e-books again I have provided a link to the Wiki.

If you have other sites please share them here.

The URL name of MobileRead was first used in May 2004. Across the past few years the focus has shifted away from cell phones and pdas to eBooks/etext/eBook readers. Everyone here is a volunteer, and most of them are here for the same reason... a Google search on something eBook Reader related had lots of results from the forums he
