Me on AO3

[marguerite_26]

So... after years of saying I would someday, I finally got an AO3 account.

Basically an old Buffy archive (Angel Book of Days) was moving to AO3 and it was a good excuse to move my fics that were there archive with ABoD over to A03.

I'm slowly uploading my fics. But eventually, any fic over 2k should be archived there.

After deleting my IJ account it is nice to think I will have a backup somewhere. :)

Hiya, thanks! I posted a little further down the thread. :) I try to download them through the Fire's web browser, but it looks like that might not be the best way. Sads.

I see that you and Giselle have been talking about it (though I didn't read your entire conversation).

I highly recommend Calibre for interacting with your kindle. I use Calibre to both organize my libraryand load books onto my kindle. The best thing about Calibre is that it converts file formats super easily. So you can load an epub, pdf, lit, etc. file. Select the files, hit the "covert books" button and Calibre will convert it to a file type of your choice (best bets for the kindle are .mobi and .pdf). The only thing it can't work with are the locked drm files from amazon, etc. Also, if your Kindle is plugged in to your computer, you can just send the books to the Kindle (via "send to device" button).

I think Calibre is pretty user friendly but if you have any questions I'd be happy to help you with it! Calibre can be downloaded for free here: http://calibre-ebook.com/download. I love how much more I'm able to read on my kindle thanks to this software.

In terms of formatting, mobi files have proven to be the best for reading. So, I use Calibre to convert everything to mobi. Though to be honest, all I've been reading of late is fic. Love that AO3 download button (i then load fic into calibre as well - you can tag by fandom, pairing, genre, whatever you come up with which is really nice).
