Kindle -- downloading quilt book Question
#11
Thank you for the info. I tried it and it didn't work. I saved the document (printed word) as a WPS and as TEXT and neither one would should up -- it copied it. But couldn't see it on the Kindle. I also did a JPEG picture and nada!!!! When you go into MY Computer and look at the index of the Kindle, it shows it's there but I can't read it on the Kindle. I'll keep playing around and see if I can get it to work.
Hoping someone else can come up with an idea!!!

you may need to put in on your kindle in a .pdf file to be able to read it.

There is a program, called Calibre ( free to download and use) that manages E-books...I have a lookbook and it isn't compatible with kindle or the nook. I have a decent size e book collection, All i had to do was add the ebooks to Calibre and hit the convert button and poof i can now read kindle books on my much less expensive Lookbook. ( i am pretty sure it converts word docs and pdfs also, but i haven't tried this as of yet.) Good luck i hope this helps.

wyrtetygeress!!!!! It WORKED!!!!! I got the Calibre program downloaded. I had copied the picture of a quilt I wanted to make onto a word document on my computer, then I added a list of the fabrics and amts needed. I created one document, then used Calibre and transfered it to my Kindle!!! WOW! now when I find that fantastic fabric at a quilt shop that would be perfect for a quilt in mind, I will know exactly what I need! This will be a big savings for us that live 40-70 minutes from a quilt shop!!!!
thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :)
