    How to Transfer Any eBook to Kindle Using Calibre

    How to Set Up Calibre on Your Computer

    We’ll be using the free and open-source eBook management app Calibre. It’s available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The app is filled with pro-level features but is also easy to use if you want to do something simple like manage your eBook library or transfer eBooks between devices.

    The best part about Calibre is that it takes care of converting formats. You don’t need to worry about downloading files in the MOBI format (which is Amazon Kindle’s default eBook format). Even if you have eBooks in the open ePub format, Calibre will convert the eBook for you before transferring it to your Kindle (as long as you’re using a DRM-free eBook).

    Go to Calibre’s website to download the app. After you’ve installed it, the Calibre Welcome Wizard will guide you through the setup process.

    The first step is to choose a location for your Calibre Library. You can go with the default location or click the “Change” button to choose a different folder. If you plan to manage your entire eBook library using Calibre, we recommend you use a Dropbox or iCloud Drive folder to store your Calibre Library. Once you’ve chosen your preferred location, click the “Next” button.

    Change Calibre Library folder and click Next

    From the next screen, choose your Kindle model and then click the “Next” button.

    Select your Kindle device and click Next

    On the next screen, Calibre will ask if you want to set up wireless email delivery for eBooks. If you have a Kindle email address set up, enter the details and then click the “Next” button. This is an optional step because we won’t be using the email method for transferring eBooks.

    Choose Kindle Email and click Next

    Now, you have completed the Calibre setup. Click the “Finish” button to launch the Calibre app.

    How to Transfer Books to Kindle Using Calibre

    Now that you’ve opened the Calibre eBook management app on your Windows PC, Mac, or Linux computer, it’s time to add your downloaded books. You can use both MOBI and ePub format eBooks.

    To add eBooks to Calibre, simply drag the eBook into the Calibre window from wherever you have it saved on your computer.

    In a second or two, Calibre will import the eBook and fetch related metadata, book details, and cover art.

    Connect your Kindle to your computer using a USB cable. Once your Kindle is recognized by Calibre, you’ll see a new “On Device” column next to the book title column.

    Let’s now transfer eBooks to the Kindle’s memory. Select a book (or multiple books) and then right-click the selected eBook(s). From the pop-up menu, click the “Send to Device” button and then choose the “Send to Main Memory” option.

    Click Send to Main Memory

    If you’ve selected a MOBI eBook, the transfer will finish in just a second or two. If you’ve selected an ePub eBook, Calibre will ask if you want to convert the book before transferring. Here, click the “Yes” button.

    Click Yes to convert the book

    Calibre will first convert the eBook and then transfer it. This will take a bit longer, depending on the size of the eBook.

    You can click the “Jobs” button in the bottom-right corner to monitor the progress.

    From here, you can see a history of all the imports, conversions, and transfers across all of your devices.

    Once you’ve transferred all of the eBooks you want on your Kindle, it’s time to safely eject the device. You can do this right from Calibre.

    From the top toolbar, click the drop-down icon next to the “Device” button and select the “Eject This Device” option.

    Click Eject This Device

    You can now unplug the Kindle device from your computer and start reading the book you transferred.
