Just a nit. I don't think Kindle devices support ePub, at least not in recent models. I'm not sure whether the apps they have for PCs and phones. I have a book in LPR format (whatever that is) that works on Kindle for PC and Phone but not Kindle devices. >From the Amazon site: Content Formats Supported Kindle Format 8 (AZW3), Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively; HTML DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PMP through conversion; Audible audio format (AAX).
