polonius 54 | 420 14 Oct 2012 #1Are e-books being published in Poland? Are they called e-książki in Polish? Do Poles know what Kindle is?
jon357 74 | 21,750 14 Oct 2012 #2Yes, yes and yes.Except the proprietary hardware sold by Empik is probably the best known.
Ironside 53 | 12,357 14 Oct 2012 #3Are e-books being published in Poland?yesAre they called e-książki in Polish?I have no idea, probably they are called e-books.Those who are into it know, there is no lack of gadgets in Poland.
delphiandomine 88 | 18,163 14 Oct 2012 #4Do Poles know what Kindle is?You live in Poland and have done for many years - why don't you ask them?Or could it be that you don't actually know anyone to ask?
sobieski 106 | 2,118 14 Oct 2012 #5To be honest, e-books are not my cup of tea. Empik, kindle...whatever... But I see them increasingly on Warsaw public transport. I prefer the real thing :) A paper book :)But why he, an expert on everything concerning Poland, does not have an idea?
jacques.bocquet 22 Jan 2014 #6As far as I know e-books exists in Polish but not on Amazon.com.My dilemma is then, how do I convert them into a Kindle format ?
jon357 74 | 21,750 22 Jan 2014 #7You need to know the format they're in and convert them to .mobi using software (usually easily downloadable). Or read them as a document on Kindle, if your Kindle model supports that format. The Kindle Fire will let you read pdf.s as a document.
InWroclaw 89 | 1,911 22 Jan 2014 #8If they're pdf, they won't convert that well (usually). Convert online for free here in about 2 mins.ebook.online-convert
ethernautrix 1 | 5 22 Jan 2014 #9After having a look at my Kindle, my friend bought one and asked Google for "free mobi eBooks" (something like that) and was able to download a bunch of her favorite authors, such as Agatha Christie. Translated to Polish. (We're in Poland, if that isn't clear.)I have bought and downloaded eBooks for my Kindle from Amazon.com without any problems.
Cardno85 31 | 976 22 Jan 2014 #10I never really liked reading in PDF format, it reminded me too much of reading on a laptop which I never enjoyed. I now just use iBooks.Slightly off topic, with Dances with Dragons on iTunes you could buy the whole, unsplit, version for £3.99 or you could buy the two halves for £6.99 each...who is seriously buying the two parts???
