Just remember that the Kindle’s native format is .mobi, but most downloads are .epub. Calibre can fix them, but you’ll want a mobi download over an epub. Luckily it’s not like rips vary that much by quality, so almost anything older than 3-5 years will be easy to find with tpb.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 27 04:19:51 2017 No.10453627 Is it possible to add covers to mobi files myself? Most of the books that I've downloaded don't have covers.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 27 04:21:54 2017 No.10453632 >>10453627 Calibre does everything you need.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 27 05:35:40 2017 No.10453743 >>10453632 Okay, through Calibre I discovered that the covers just don't show up for books that I put on my Kindle outside of downloading from Amazon. Not sure why that would be.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 27 05:55:23 2017 No.10453764 >>10453750 Did that. The covers show up on Calibre, but not on my Kindle.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 27 05:57:10 2017 No.10453769 >>10453764 ...did you put them on the kindle before or after you got the covers?

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 27 05:58:07 2017 No.10453773 >>10453769 I did it when they were on, and then tried removing them and doing it and then putting them back on. So, both.

As long as there's a thread up about stealing books, would anyone here happen to know where I could get a copy of The Prestige for free? Most of the torrents I find are for the movie and the one time I found a torrent of the book, it had no seeds.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 27 06:05:38 2017 No.10453780 >>10453773 Okay, I somehow got it to work this time.

Thanks. I actually found it after I saw the post above mine. I don't use /lit/ much, so I didn't even know about that website. I usually just torrent my books.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 27 06:48:04 2017 No.10453873 Best place to get the entire works of Plato and Aristotle?

Anonymous Wed Dec 27 06:57:40 2017 No.10453898

>>10453873
The answer to any question like this is probably libgen. I'd also recommend something to bypass the Aristotle. It's absolutely invaluable information but there are better ways than millennia old lecture notes. Even a decent HOP would probably work.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 27 07:08:08 2017 No.10453931 >>10453236 Gutenberg has kindle files on the site. >>10453773 Convert the file again after adding the cover.
