    Actually, once you have the software installed it's really simple. Even better you don't have to convert it at all,you just plug your device in via USB and send to device and it will do it automatically

    Kindles do not read .ePub files. So, a conversion *would* be required. But once it's done with Calibre on her pc, Sharon can transfer the .mobi file easily to the connected device.

    Reviewing what you wrote.. are you saying that Calibre with
    auto-convert a file once it detects a Kindle device?

    Dang it. Make that "Calibre *will* auto-convert".

    I really need a proofreader.

    Ah.. but reading the manual.. there is an initial (non-automatic) step required. ;) ..and that is under Preferences/Behaviour.. to set the "Preferred Output Format" to MOBI.
