How to convert books and read them on ebook reader!

I don’t  know why I choose this topic as my first ever entry  for a blog! Maybe because I just always liked to read books and the decision of taking my first ever android phone was based on the fact that it has an inbuilt book reader. Just take big books any where and carry thousands of books right in your pocket!!

Well initially the idea seemed great!! Awesome!! But then after taking the new phone it did not took me long  to discover that only .epub books can be used in the eBook reader!! It was not the case with just android but with all other mediums of reading eBooks available on the earth. Be it the ipad or the kindle!!

I got a little disappointed after seeing those huge collection of eBooks  in PDF formats lying on my PC, which are always a pain to read on it!! But the disappointment also sparked the fire inside me to search for a solution so that i can read my books on my android phone anywhere!!

So i found this!! Calibre-Ebook Management software was “THE” software for me!!  So here is how to use it!! Enjoy!!

      1. Open the software!!

      2. Click Add Books button you see on the top left corner!! You can add one book or you can add many books together!!

3. After adding the books select book/books to convert them!! 

4. Hit the convert books button on the top.

5. You may edit the metadata of the books as you want!! You may also change the looks and other categories before conversion. I don’t mess up with those settings because while running calibre for the first time I had set android as my eBook device!! Simple!! Conversion takes place accordingly. You can see the status of the jobs that are being converted at the bottom right of the interface!! So you are done!

       

      

      Navigate to the calibre library and there you have your new little epub waiting to merge with your eBook device..!!
