kindle fire question downloads

I'm not sure where the best place is to post this question anymore.
Please send me in the right direction if this is the wrong place.

My husband got me a kindle fire for my birthday. I have a lot of epub novels for my sony ereader. If I convert them to mobi, can I read them on the kindle fire? My son says no, but he's no expert. He says kindle has a kill switch which will erase all my book content if they are illegal copies.
Is this true? I don't see how it can be. Most of the users of this service have kindles and download books and read them fine.

I've had no problem with Mobi files. Here is a link to the best e-book converter I've found. Convert, plug in your Kindle and upload your books.

Code: Select All

If you don't want to convert all your books, you can sideload a epub reader app and read the epubs that way.

I would never have guessed to post this here. This seems like a really odd place to ask this question. This is NOT a literature discussion question.
I couldn't find where to post this question. I looked and looked and couldn't find the "proper" forum. The ebook discussion thread was locked and I
couldn't find anywhere else to post. Maybe you shouldn't make it so difficult and people wouldn't have such a problem. I have a limited amount of time I can spend online.
You can be sure I'll never come back HERE to ask a question.
