This step is entirely optional, and can be skipped if you prefer by pressing Next and then Finish to exit the wizard. If you are a Kindle user, enter your Kindle e-mail address to automatically send files to your device via e-mail. Now, select your e-book reader from the list and click Next once more. Select your e-book reader from the list and then press Next to continue.Ĭhoose a language and file location, then click Next to proceed. Tip: Please note, if you are using OS X Tiger or a PowerPC Mac then an earlier version of Calibre must be downloaded. Additionally, the app can store your library online so that it can be accessed by you from anywhere in the world, making Calibre probably the most powerful e-book management software available right now. With Calibre, you can transfer books between your computer and e-reader, and vice versa, converting their format for whichever device you choose, and removing the DRM so that they can be shared across all of your devices instead of just one. While companies such as Amazon employ DRM (Digital Rights Management) to prevent you from sharing books between multiple devices, Calibre frees you from such constraints and offers total control over your e-book collection. In this tutorial, I will show you how to convert an e-book using Calibre, a powerful open-source application dedicated to organising your digital library. Whether you are the proud new owner of an e-book reader, or merely anticipate the inclusion of iBooks in OS X Mavericks and wish to start converting your e-book collection to an appropriate format, it can often be difficult to know where to begin.
