If you already longer digital reading, chances are good that you already have the second or third eBook Reader and the reader for meaningful technical innovations exchanged for a new one. What is not really problematic, can be more complicated than we thought at a manufacturer change yet:
Was the first eReader e.g. PocketBook and later acquires a Kindle Paperwhite, you can no longer open the previously purchased eBooks on Amazon ePub device. The Kindle models do not support the open ePub format namely, but put on the Mobi file format and corresponding developments (AZW, KFX).
In In other words: If you also want to read on Kindle already purchased ePub files, then you have it with Calibre first bring into the right format

- ePub purchase without copy protection (DRM)
ePub purchase without copy protection (DRM)
So you can see whether an ePub eBook is provided with DRM.
If you buy new ePub eBooks for the Kindle, you have to make sure that they are available without copy protection. While one can authorize the readers from other manufacturers with an Adobe ID to access copy-protected files, it works with Amazon eReader lack ePub support is not.
If you already have several books in the ePub format, but chances are good that some (many) of them are protected with hard DRM. The Adobe copy protection has namely continued with relatively high penetration
In one has a case in two ways:. If the eBook purchase not too long lags and the store allows you can settle back buying. If, for example, due to exceeding the deadline does not work, you can remove the copy protection, which although fairly straightforward works, from a legal perspective, however, is problematic.
When buying new eBooks should therefore definitely pay attention to the DRM-free. Meanwhile, the type of copy protection is given at all major stores. The right-hand side insert screen shows the DRM specification of Thalia (+ Buch.de), Hugendubel (+ eBook.de) worldview (+ Buecher.de), Kobo, Osiander and Mayersche.
ePub when adding convert
So we come to the point. The DRM-free (or -befreite) eBook you must first load it into the Calibre library.
Already here you have the opportunity eBooks directly convert when inserting , For this you go into the Calibre settings and click the “behavior”.
Select default output format.
In the newly opened window you choose in “Preferred output format” either AZW3 or Mobi and confirm the choice by clicking on “Apply”.
Now select the Settings menu, select “Add” and sets the check mark in “Added Books automatically convert the current output format”. Also, this window closes you then by clicking on “Apply” and can also leave the settings subsequently.
Place the right hook.
That’s basically already to eBooks when adding to library automatically in the desired output format – to convert
eBooks manually convert
If you only has recently switched to a Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Voyage or other Amazon model, but has previously used an eReader other manufacturer, chances are good that the Calibre library is already filled with books.
Since then brings of course not much when you automatically converts only the newly added files. However, the conversion of the entire library works also with a few clicks.
Use the key combination Ctrl + A you can select all files in the Calibre library. Then you click on the “Books Convert” button in the toolbar.
Mass conversion with a few clicks
In the upper right corner of the newly opened window the preferred output format should already be set. If not, then Choose Mobi or AZW3. By clicking “OK” the mass conversion is started.
Depending on the size of the library, can take some time to complete this process. The Calibre jobs are sequentially processed (if you have not adjusted the priority), so you just have to wait a little. The progress can be followed by clicking on “jobs” in the lower right corner.
EPUB eBooks converted during the transfer to the Kindle
The faster and more practical alternative to the conversion of the entire library, you can also just convert those ePub books into Kindle format, you also want to actually read.
If you have plugged the eReader via USB to the PC, it will automatically recognized by Calibre.
Send to device – the ePub file is automatically converted into the Kindle format
Once you have selected the desired book in Calibre library, you can just “Send to Device” click. If you do this for the first time, opens an indication that the eBook is not in the correct format for the Kindle and can be converted automatically.
The question is answered with “Yes” – after the checkmark
has been removed. In order for this window will not appear in any book, removed “This confirmation show again” the checkbox and click to “Yes”.
The ePub eBook will be automatically converted into the Mobi format and transferred to the eReader. The process takes a little longer than just copying due to the conversion. The Kindle should be staked only when in the lower right corner, the order number of Calibre is at zero.
