Using Calibre to load Epub onto Kindle Fire

janelev · 02-26-2012, 01:14 PM

Although it may sound strange, I prefer to read books on my Kindle Fire in epub format using the Nook app. I find it much better than the Kindle mobi format. Problem is that I have found no way to transfer my epub books from Calibre to the Kindle in epub format in a way that allows me to read them using the Nook app. I end up having to side load them into Nook app folder in the Kindle. In doing so, I lose covers and other information. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Are you using Calibre's Save to disk? It has options to save cover and metadata, but I don't know if they are in Nook App readable format and location.

Another option is the User Defined device plugin.

You could open the Kindle Fire Device plugin and tick EPUB (and move the preferred order placement).
This will leave that book in the 'standard' fire folder
