Can it read epubs yet?
I was thinking of buying a Nook Glowlight because I often read in bed while my partner sleeps. But when I went to check it out in the store, the contrast is noticeably worse on the Glowlight, to the point where I decided not to get one. If this new Kindle can read epubs, has a light, and has contrast that's at least as good as a regular Kindle, I'm sold.
Edit: I know I can convert files, but it's a big pain to be constantly converting a big library, especially since I very often correct ebooks in Sigil.
- eclipxe 14y agoUse Kindlegen (http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000765211 http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000...) Seriously. Calibre produces a very poor conversion. Kindlegen will retain much of the ePub fidelity.
- MikeKusold 14y agoThank you! I've been using Calibre to convert everything. Is there a way to add WhisperSync too?
- ajtaylor 14y agoThanks for this! I'm downloading it and the Kindle Previewer now. I don't yet have a Kindle, but my birthday and Christmas are coming soon. And of course I have the Kindle app on my Android phone. :)
- esolyt 14y agoIt is trivial to convert epub to mobi. Amazon has released a free tool for all platforms.

- TillE 14y agoYou can convert epubs easily with Calibre. I think it might even do it automatically when you tell it to put an epub on your Kindle. However, the formatting doesn't always get converted properly.
- baq 14y agoepub->mobi is a more or less lossless conversion using calibre.
- mfarazi 14y agoCheck out the Kobo Glo. Seems to be what you're looking for.
- dredmorbius 14y agoThat's my must-have. Along with a growing aversion to vendor- (and increasingly: online-marketplace-) devices. No, conversion isn't a substitute.
