My wife and I both have Kindle paperwhites and we constantly are adding books that were sourced other than Amazon.
I assume you are buying books on sites other than Amazon and then stripping the DRM out of the files before sending them to your Kindle? As I said, I do that now in order to share books with my husband. I would prefer not to have to go through all that. It is a simple matter for these companies to edit some code and throw a monkey wrench into things, creating a situation where the conversion tools no longer work. I just don't want to deal with stress. Trying to simplify my life.

Thx for the suggestions.
