title_body: Can I use a service like Scribd/Oyster with the Kindle eReader? I'm not talking about Kindle fire. The  $79 one. 
  
  It doesn't have to directly support it. 
  
  My thinking is: 
  
  
  If Kindle support the epub format
  Scribd offers epub
  There's software out there like Calibre that can convert between formats
  
  
  I should be able to use services like scribd/oyster then. Is my understanding correct?
upvoted_answer: Yes, if you manage to download from somewhere an ePub file, then you can convert it to mobi format using a software as Calibre. This would allow you to read such books on a Kindle.
