I know a number of stories have been converted so I figured I could get the answer here. Thanks for the help.

I was perfectly able to drag and drop files into my Kindle. I should imagine all versions allow you to.

Meadowrose, you can email yourself a document as well. Look for your Kindle email address on the Docs page on your Kindle (for example, mine is kelly_xx54 @ kindle.com) You'll need to send it from the email address you set up on your Amazon account. You can also add email addresses - I send a friend of mine fanfic to her Kindle from time to time from my own email. She added me on her Personal Document Settings page. Now, having said all that, I mostly use Calibre . Have you checked out the The (L&C) Archive Legacy E-reader project ? It's mostly stories that are over 50K. We're slowly getting all of the old fanfic up as ePUB/MOBI, but it takes a bit. If you have a fic you really want to see converted, let me know. Right now they're all gFic, but if there's an nFic you'd like, I'll see what I can do. Cheers, and hope that helps!
