It can hold up to 1000 books and also has a slot to put one of those little memory cards which you can add more books too.
I also use a program www.calibre-ebook.com that will transfer files from one type of file to another so if there is a ebook that I would like to read that the Kobo doesn't support the file type you can use calibre to transfer the file into a file that Kobo supports. This site is also free.

Pat,
You know it is really easy ... you just download the file to the calibre and make sure the book you want to convert is highlighted and there is a button at the top you click to convert and that is it. I am not computer savy ... and I did figure it out. Once you do it twice you will have no problem in doing it!!
