Hi, everyone. 👋
I’d like to move a few of my books from Amazon kindle app to an open source reader before closing the Amazon account. Preferably, I’d like moving to a European -based servive.
Curious about what my options would be? What is the procedure like? 🤷♂️
Thanks. Would this work on Linux, too?
Not sure, don’t see why not. I’m not smart enough to use Linux
Nah, you don’t need to be all that smart. You just gotta be willing to spend time learning. It’s not even all that difficult as long as you don’t get too hung up on the old Windows or Mac way of doing things. There are some great beginner friendly distros these days, and they tend to work pretty well without too many issues for most people. If you do have issues, there are chats, typically on IRC, where you can ask for help, and google can go a long way if you’re decent with it.
Right on, I might try a dual boot on my laptop and give it a try
Dual booting is definitely a good way to start. If you lack hard drive space or want to test out distros before picking one to settle on for a while, many are capable of booting off a live CD or flash drive without installation. You might not be able to settle in quite as well without installing, but for quick tests and comparisons, it can be handy, and it makes no change at all to your PC until you commit to installing it properly.
