They have an easy-to-use interface for uploading epub files to the cloud. Works great on ios, Kindles, androids, Windows. Even though I have never bought an ebook from the Google Play store, their Play Books app is phenomenal and is the best share-across-devices-and-platforms solution. That's the primary way you share Kindle ebooks across devices.įinally, a personal recommendation. Perhaps you should log in to the Kindle Personal Documents service via computer, go to "Manage your content and devices", for show, select Docs, select the file and click the Actions button and then choose Deliver from the popup. I am unclear what you mean by sharing function. I realize that you probably obtained the ebook file legally. Besides being possibly illegal, it also will be technically hard to do. Your question is seeking to break through the Kindle app's DRM. ![]() But for reading third party stuff on your kindle app, you should be using the Send-to-Kindle function to get into the cloud, then go to the website and choose the device you want to deliver it to. It would look beautiful!įrom a practical point of view, I sometimes read purchased ebooks from Amazon on my ipad app. If you're buying from a third party (Smashwords?) you should have gotten an epub version and just emailed it and opened it in ibooks. Ibooks is a best-of-class ebook reading software and certainly the best ebook reading app on ios. The rule of thumb is to try to use whichever ebook reader is native to the device. You can also choose which devices and apps you want to send to. You can send using drag and drop, or from the Finder, or from other Mac apps via the 'Send to Kindle' option in the Print menu. ![]() Most of my ebooks just look horrible on the kindle for ios. It's a free app that lets you send your personal documents to your Kindle devices and Kindle iOS reading apps from your Mac. (by comparison, It's a breeze to format for Kindle on android or the Kindle devices). As an ebook publisher and formatter, I spend a huge amount of my time trying to make the ebook look less-than-crappy on the Kindle app for ios. The Kindle app for ios is a truly wretched app for rendering ebooks. Amazon wants to make it impossible for you to have direct access to the ios file system. Maybe (hopefully) Calibre lets you add files to the ipad. You can use itunes to add a file into the IOS app (using the "File Sharing" function in itunes connect the device, select the device -> Summary -> Apps -> (scroll down and select Kindle app and then choose Add file). (They even make it rather hard - though not impossible to send files directly to the device app without using the cloud). 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.Amazon went to significant trouble to make it practically impossible to extract a kindle file out of the Kindle app for ios. I then went to my iPad (without sending the book there explicitly) and it was there with my highlights again. I picked my iPhone, and sure enough the book appeared there with my highlights (yay!). This brought up a window with a drop-down list of all my devices - except my Kindle for PC or the Amazon Cloud Reader were greyed out. I then clicked on the action button next to my book and clicked the Deliver to: Others link. The book did not appear under books, but DID appear under Docs. I called Amazon support and here's what we learned: we went to Manage Your Content and Devices and clicked on YOur Content. I started to worry at this point, thinking that I only ever have access to my highlights on the Kindle device itself. I also checked my history of highlights at and they were not there either. However, I discovered that the book did not appear on my Kindle for PC. ![]() I made many highlights (as I often do), and I wanted to see those highlights on my PC to prepare some teaching notes. It was delivered to my device right away, and I happily read it. I used the Send to Kindle application on my PC to send it to my Kindle device (strangely, by Kindle for PC was not on the list of options - more on this later). ![]() I purchased an ebook in Mobi format from a seller other than Amazon.
