Newbie - Can I read Kindle books on Aura
About to receive Kobo Aura as gift . . . new to eReaders . . . own iPad 4
Can I download and read Kindle books on a Kobo Aura? Related perhaps, is the Calibre software for use only on PC? What if I don't have a PC (e.g. when travelling for a few months) Thanks in advance |

The only way to read Kindle books on a Kobo eReader is to remove the DRM from the books and then use calibre to convert to ePub format.

And yes, calibre is only available for "desktop OSs" in other words no tablets out phone operating systems. It's available for windows, mac, and linux. There's also a portable version of you want in case you have access to computers while travelling but not your own. You can always just but books on Kobo.
Depending on what you read and where you are, Kobo can be quite a bit cheaper, especially with promo codes. |
