I’m looking for a store where I could buy e-books which are usable by Kindle. I don’t use the e-reader that much, so I don’t want to buy a completely new device as the old one is perfectly fine. But I also want to have an option to use it from time to time (Amazon already got their money so it would be a waste to buy a new device)

My main problem (and please correct me if I’m wrong) is, that stores which I found mostly contain books in epub format (with DRM) which can’t be opened by the Kindle and which would need to be converted via 3rd party applications.

Are there some good stores with ease of use that’s similar to the Amazon’s one? Buy a book, send it to device, done. Or do I need to accept, that I will need to somehow convert books before using them?

    That sounds like a great option, but my problem is that my main device is not a PC, but rather a tablet where this software can’t be used. That’s why I hoped for some store that provides books also in mobi format. We already have one such store in my country, but the problem is that their e-book selection is not great (as they’re mostly a physical book store)

    But thank you for a specific software recommendation. I’ll keep it in mind and probably make it work somehow. Much appreciated.

      That depends on what OS your tablet is running. Calibre is cross-platform, so chances are it can run on your tablet.
