I have been trying to buy a book on my kindle app on both my iPhone 12 and iPad Pro 11 I have also tried using safari web to try to purchase as well as the Amazon shopping app all say App does not support the purchase of books! I find way beyond wrong and honestly dumb hoping some knows a fix?
I use the kindle app on my ipad to read kindle books. I've been searching for a way to use calibre to remove the DRM for them but I can't find any resources for removing DRM for kindle books on an ipad. Just PC or an actual kindle device. Is there a way to remove the DRM from kindle books on an ipad pro? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I searched but couldn't find an answer.
Short version: If you send a third-party mobi book to your kindle, it will sync between Kindle apps, but only if they are on a Kindle, iOS or Android device; the cloud reader and PC applications (maybe Mac, too?) will not have the book or its associated notes/highlights.
The kindle books is not avaible in the app without amazon echo or other device :( is not that simple like how you explain. If you have a solution to have kindle avaible in alexa app withouth device, please let me know
I can confirm that alexa app is not showing kindle books. In fact, I tried alexa.amazon.com to check and if you choose to stream kindle to an app, it will tell you that kindle streaming is not available for this device. Apparently amazon decides that it can make more money selling echos so they no longer let you stream kindle books to the app on your phone. I used to listen to my kindle books in my car from the phone and now I am not able to anymore.
Before actually plunking down that much money, I suggest trying reading Project Gutenberg and other eBooks on the laptops, notebooks, netbooks, cellphones or PDAs already in your collection of devices. I have known many people who have read very lengthy works on their cellphone, PDA or whatever while standing in lines over a period of one or two weeks and are have thus doubled their book number per year without taking any extra time.
You can use that area to approve emails that are allowed to send ebooks to your Kindle. Ask yourself what email address is connected to the Android phone you usually send/receive emails with. Then add your usual email address to the approved list.
The only disadvantage the Calibre has it is a bit more difficult to connect wirelessly to your collection. I won't go into all it's advantages but, essentially it is your own personal library, that you can organize and store you books on, regardless of where it comes from. My 1263 (current count) works are stored on Calibre, I download from Amazon, Smashword, Baen, Project Gutenberg, etc. directly to Calibre (on my pc). Once a week or so, I sit down at the PC, remove some books from my Kindles, mark them as read on Calibre (tag 'read'), add some new books to the appropriate kindle ('paperwhite' for reading in bed, 'keyboard' for text to speech while commuting) and tag the books I am currently reading in Calibre by the device they are on.
In contrast my kindle device and my (mac) desktop software don't share the same. However, from my kindle device if I look at my "Cloud" items, then in the overall menu there is a "Import collections" which lets me import collections from my desktop software. The desktop software has an "import collections" command available from the "add collection" menu in the ui, but I'm not sure where it imports from.
Your calibre ebook imports go into a folder that you can pick. I have mine dump into a Dropbox folder and that keeps my computers synced. Still can't figure out how to get my kindle synced like that so I have to manually toss my files to it.
The iPad Mini is a great little tablet for those who don't want the usual 10- and 11-inch tablet behemoths. With an 8.3-inch screen, it's also the perfect size for ebooks, and the color screen makes it a great choice for reading digital comics (ahem, graphic novels). At $500, it's more expensive than the fanciest Kindle reader, but you get a full-fledged iPadOS device that can serve as a streaming video player or game machine as well.
When it comes to reading ebooks on a tablet, some people may prefer a Kindle to an iPad. But there is no doubt that the iPad is also a good e-book reading device on the market. Therefore, it is inevitable that more and more users want to find a way to transfer books from kindle to iPad, so that they can read Kindle books on iPad and iPhone devices.
If you want to know how to move books from Kindle to iPad, you can try the three transfer methods mentioned in this article. But if you want to read Kindle ebooks on your iPad as much as you want, then you can go straight to the third option. Besides, Assistant for iOS is an unmissable one-click data transfer tool, not only e-books, but also contacts, text messages, photos, videos, notes and more can be transferred from iPhone/iPad to computer and vice versa. Download it now and try it out.
Hi, im just wondering how i get kindle books back from the cloud. My friend has heaps of books on her kindle but the are all grey and when you click on them they say pending but dont load. The books show up in the cloud part but seem to get them back.. Any thoughts?? Please help!! ?
thanks friends for a nice discussion and helpful tips! i am fairly new reader with a paperwhite and an All-new kindle reader. Few of the books i have on paperwhite are neither shown in my cloud (total bought list) but are only on one device Paperwhite and on other reader it shows as EXPIRED. Amazon also not showing them on my purchase history, What could be the reason, and also these books not showing the SHARE button as active when I try to share a passage.
Stanza is strongest in the area of reading a variety of legacy ebook or digital formats like Mobipocket, PalmDoc (DOC), along with HTML, PDF, Microsoft Word and Rich Text Format (RTF). It also has connectivity to Twitter and Facebook. Perhaps the most interesting feature is its ability, in conjunction with the ebook editing and management software Calibre, to access ebooks you store in DropBox.
Amazon released a free program on Thursday that allows Kindle electronic books to be read on Apple's Mac computers and said they will also be available on the upcoming iPad. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); Amazon, in a statement, said the "Kindle for Mac" application can be downloaded in more than 100 countries from amazon.com/kindleformac.Mac computers are the latest device to be given the ability to read e-books from the Kindle online store, which currently offers more than 450,000 titles including 102 of the 111 New York Times bestsellers.Amazon has already released free applications that allow Kindle e-books to be read on the iPhone, the iPod Touch, the Blackberry from Research in Motion and personal computers running Microsoft's Windows operating system.The programs allow a reader to switch between devices -- from a Kindle e-reader to an iPhone, for example -- without losing their place in a book.Amazon said Kindle e-books will also be available on the iPad, which is to hit stores in the United States on April 3 and which some analysts have hailed as a potential rival to Amazon's Kindle e-reader.The impending arrival of the iPad has forced Amazon to make concessions to some publishers who have complained over the 9.99-dollar price tag charged by Amazon for new releases and bestsellers in e-book format.

There is no doubt in my mind that students of the next generation will experience our textbooks digitally. What is not clear to me is how this will play out in terms of hardware. Our students in the next few years will likely use a combination of their already owned personal computers, tablet computers like the iPad and perhaps some ebook readers depending on just what ebooks can be easily acquired from publishers and their affiliates. Ten years from now, I am just not sure. What IS clear is that that textbooks in their present hard copy form are likely not to be gracing our student's living spaces in the way they do now.
Dr. Gutenberg, Blat took a stab at covering the hardware and software options for ebook readers. I'll try to decompose part of the fugue dealing with various formats for ebooks to add to our collective response to your excellent and timely question. There was some interesting research published out of Princeton, Case Western, and University of Virginia recently on the use of Kindle's for e-textbooks; we've put a link to a USA Today report on our delicious.com list for this month.
Like many technologies ebooks and ebook formats go back many years; the Project Gutenberg with over 100,000 free ebooks, started in 1971this predates personal computers! The current formats for ebook files have a lineage that goes to these early efforts to provide book content in electronic form. See our link from Wikipedia, "Comparison of e-book formats," that illustrates the many variations of ebook formats. Commercial ebook readers borrow from these formats with added digital rights management (DRM) to prevent copying. See the table I've constructed below in an effort, as you put it, to offer Schenkerian simplicity.
We mustn't confine ourselves just to the commercial ebooks when offering you options. There are numerous software readers for Mac and Windows as well as conversion software to translate most any unprotected (non-DRM) ebook to any other format as Blat has discussed above. Check out the Wiki article "E-book conversion" in our delicious.com list to see what I mean! Also read the article we've bookmarked for you, "eBook Roundup: 8 Apps for iPhone readers."
One set of software I've explored is the combination of Calibre and Lexcycle's Stanza software. Calibre is designed to manage your library of ebooks of many different formats and devices including commercial Kindle, Sony, and Nook files, and to automate uploading them to your reader(s). Stanza is designed as a universal ebook reader either from your PC or Mac desktop or from your iPhone or Blackberry, including handling the conversion process. For example, I took an unprotected Mobipocket book and converted it to ePub format to read with Stanza on my iPhone; I should point out however, that my attempt to convert PDFs to ePub format were about as unrewarding as trying to blow on a wet #1 Rico reed! I've started using Goodreader (see delicious.com link) for my iPhone and a new version for my iPad that is designed to manage PDF documents in very creative ways.
