Troubleshooting convert from EPUB to MOBI on an Android tablet.

maavenz · 07-12-2014, 07:23 PM

Hello there!
I'm a Danish guy reading only Danish written litterature.
Most Danish bookshops sells only books in the EPUB format.
Therefore I use to convert the books I buy, on a very old Mac Mini, via Calibre, before I put them on my Kindle Paperwhite, and my Kindle keyboard.
Now, because my Mac Mini is worn out, I want to get rid of it.
My question is this:
How do I convert books from EPUB to MOBI, without a computer, and then send them to my Kindles?
Will it be possible to convert books on my Google Nexus 10 (Android) tablet, and if so, how do I get them from the tablet to my Kindles?
Hoping for a possible solution.
Thank.

You could try using an online converter from your tablet, i don't know how well that would work though. To move files between your kindles and your tablet, search in the Kindle Developer's Corner for how to set up SSH over WiFi on your kindles, and use a SFTP client on your tablet to move the files.

I'll take that Mac Mini if you don't want it :P

Once you have the files as mobi, an easy way to get them from your tablet to your Kindles should be emailing them (every Kindle has an email address, so as long as you are able to send mobi files from your tablet's email app / webmail as attachments, it should be fairly simple).

As for converting, I assume Danish shops sell epub without Adobe DRM (e.g. non-DRM epub files or watermarked epub)? I suspect the converter linked to above doesn't work with Adobe DRM epub.
