help with feedbooks

Caroline · 02-25-2010, 04:56 AM

Have just had a look at feedbooks and tried to download a couple of books to my Kindle 2, have only had it a few days. As I live in Australia I had to download and transfered the books into my Kindle documents folder. I have done this with the books on this site with no problems and have already enjoyed a few good reads. In this case the books show up in the document file of my Kindle on the computer but they do not appear in my home directory of books on my Kindle 2

Please can anybody help me.

Thanks in anticipation

I tried to download some books, and all of them were in epub format. That's not supported by your Kindle. Use calibre to convert them to mobipocket.

The default download format on Feedbooks is ePUB which won't work on Kindle. However, Feedbooks also provide most (if not all) books in Mobi which is what Kindle supports. Trick is to not chose download from the first menu but click on the book and then chose which of the various format you want to d/l.

The alternative is to convert them using Calibre as already suggested.

Weird I had the same problem a mobi file downloaded from feedbooks did not show up on the kindle. When I connected my Kindle to the PC the MOBI file was in the document directory. Then I disconnected the Kindle and the book showed up.
Also when I retried downloading a new book, the new book showed up instantly.
