Isn't it awesome? *grin* Between AO3 and the FanfictionDownloader, it's ridiculously easy to put fic on my Kindle.

I don't even flipping know where to start! well, yes I do; with my old favourites from HP and SGA and Merlin and and etc, because I love rereading things. but there's SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM

Ihavetobeupat5 hahaha I wish I'd discovered this earlier in the day. oh well!

If you need a program to convert just about any ereader format into mobi format, look into calibre. Sukino told me about it and it's fucking fantastic, I use it to convert pdf and kindle books to read on my nook.

I think I must be using that one wrong, somehow- I downloaded it but it gives me error messages all the time :\ which makes me love AO3 like EXTRA HARD because I'd already been so frustrated with trying to download fic! yaay :D

how do you like the Nook? I love my Kindle, but sometimes I wonder if I'd've been better off with a backlit screen after all.

I like it, personally. I had a really hard time deciding between the kindle and the nook but in the end I figured I'd be doing more reading in buildings and especially at night in bed, so the backlit screen was a better investment for me. I can read it in the sun too, you just get a bit of a background reflection.

I never got an error message from calibre, but it does take a lot of resources to run on my computer. D:
