this is perfect! I now dont have to use amazon's buggy send to kindle option much anymore! This saved me hours of googling and figuring this out! Massive thank you! plus I can save the converted files for backup!
Yes, but Amazon doesn't support mobi files anymore. You can still use calibre but your files will be sent in mobi files to your library and I've noticed that the mobi drain my battery way much faster than the epub and sometimes I download books that failed to transfer to my kindle so really i hope the next version of calibre leaves our books in epub without converting them into mobi
@patricklechner1 I didn't understand your comment, I was talking about calibre, which converts Epub files to mobi, and the fact that we can't stop it, I figured later that mobi drains my battery more that epub , by the way I have the basic 11th 2022 if it can help you
Is there any diffrences in how the book look betwean book that was already mobi and converted from PDF to mobi? Can you edit the font type and size in your Kindle when you are working on converted book? The convertion by amazon email works any diffrent? Anyway thanks for the video
Great tutorial, thanks! I have a question I bet you can anwer: The right column (where you can click on format, path etc.) vanished completely when I made the tags area as wide as the screen with the cursor. Now I want it back but can't, the now only makes the whole window smaller. Any idea?
Thanks for this informative video. I have a question why does the page orientation changes and text moves to next page when we upload our ebook in kindle
I keep running into formatting issues when I do this. I'm downloading PDFs from Archive; after converting to MOBI and transferring to device, the format looks warped and unreadable. Any advice?
Hello, thanks for the video. Question though: I think recently there has been some changes to the software in the Kindle and many on my books dont show up on my Kindle despite that is shown on Calibre that they are there. I guess they have found a way to detect books that were not bought on Amazon. Do you know how to fix this?
Hey, I have a question. I did exactly what you showed us to do in the video (uploading the books using a usb) and its on my kindle now but it isn't syncing or showing up on my other devices. Is there any way to make it show up on my other devices too?
Hi Michael. Given that Amazon are removing support for mobi and azw, which format should I use to convert my ebooks? I'm a newbie on kindle, and have thousands of downloaded ebooks, but I want them to work properly on the kindle. I already have calibre.
@edntz ok, thanks. Another question, my kindle was at 90% battery just now, now it's dead. I suspect it needs an update. However, I tried downloading the software and manually installing it. Didn't work. Kindle shows software up to date. But, it can only be that, because airplane mode is on. Wifi off, etc. All the normal tips given in other videos have been followed.
Thanks for this video! New subscriber ☺️ I have a question - is the formatting lost when you convert from PDF/Epub to the MOBI format?? (Text formatting like bold, italics, underline, etc.)
From PDF idk but converting epub to kepub (kobo's format that has some benefits over epub) this isn't the case. It's also nice that formating files seems to even them out. Eg some epub fonts are much larger than others and formatting kinda seems to make all of them the same so you can use the same settings for every book It does keep any ou lusher font etc and stuff like bold / italics etc will still be there. While downloading books from sites like libgen the most important thing seems to be though to check the books I calibre to make sure they have a good ToC and that they work. Some are broken. I found this out the first time I mass converted a few hundred books and a bunch on them didn't work. Some were broken. Others worked on the second try. And yet others had to be converted from epub to epub (I then delete the old epub copy in the change metadata menu) and convert it to kepub and it always seems to work unless the file is broken as I said.
I have a Macbook and I can't figure out how to get the Nook books added to Calibre. Nook no longer has an app for the macbook so I can only access my Nook books through the barnes and noble web page or on my phone. How do I get the books actually on my macbook so I can then add and convert with Calibre.
i’m sorry if i didn’t scroll all the way down , but for newbies like me i wish you had gone through the steps of email the kindle email - ( i’m stuck at the from email /after inputting my kindle email address/
Definitely works fine getting a PDF onto the Kindle but I find the text on the Kindle is then quite small and I cannot alter this as I can with a book bought from Amazon or similar. So it seems to me that you get the text onto the Kindle but lose a lot of the Kindle functionality that one becomes used to having. Almost seems to make the Kindle a simple “PDF Viewer”. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it is?
Hey Quentin, I believe it depends on pdf. If you pdf is made of images then there's no way to do any formatting after file conversion. If it's a normal text I believe converting it to Mobi would give you much better results.
@@howtodostuff. Hi, thanks for the reply. The PDF I tried it with was generated from a Google Document, saved as a PDF. The document was text only with no images, no formatting, no lists, tables or anything, just pure text. Still no ability to change text size once on the Kindle, or any other features. Makes me think it might just be easier to view the PDF on a tablet (larger than a Kindle) rather than exporting to MOBI.
How to set up your format book to kindle? I have problem when I was trying to preview on kindle and said some errors. Does Calilbre will fix especially about the margin?
@@howtodostuff. my files from my publisher is PDF files, then I convert to KDF, but when I preview the front page etc have some glitches. What is the best way to fix it? Which file format do u suggested for kindle
Generally reading Kindle books is best with MOBI files. I'd try to convert from PDF to Mobi instead and see if there's difference. For front page, when converting you have the option to upload front page cover, should you have one as an image.
Hi there. I got a question for you. How can you set up Calibre in order to the output file has a specific format name. In my case I want the output file to have this format: [Author] - [Serie] - [Title].mobi Thanks in advance!!
Great video! But I have a question, when transferring when Kindle is plugged in, do we need to copy and paste both the EPUB and MOBI file? Or just the MOBI file itself? Thank you!
Hey there, well if you're only using Kindle than I'd go with mobi as you don't have to convert it. As long as the book downloaded/purchased has text and not images; any of those formats is good as you can always convert to another format.
it's very helpful thank you so much. but I had another problem which is, I can't transfer PDF form Ebook in my own language into Mobi. What should i do for this? Hope you can see this question and can help me. thank you.
@@shreya.p.c5651 you know I did it. And it kinda works. But still I don't thing it works so good. I can made the letters bigger with some difficulty. I cannot look for world's with just press a word.

@@LauryDepp I would try converting to an AZW3 file, it is more advanced than Mobi as it supports more styles, fonts and layouts; the only thing I did notice was I wasn't able to change the alignment.
