  I do mail at about 4am EST.  Maybe things are messed up with
  my very old dos based BBS software. ;)  Today I slept in so
  it's currently 8:15am as I type this on Monday.

  Kindle doens't do epub.  I keep the epub in calibre and just
  convert it to mobi and copy onto the kindle.

  Amazon can take them away from you.  Something happened a few
  years back where they lost the rights to sell some books so
  if you didn't have it on your reader backed up it was gone from
  your kindle account.  Basically I don't trust Amazon, I like
  their device though.
