Book apple / Calibre : import problem
Hello forum,
I'm coming to you because I'm having a problem importing stored books (epub format) into Apple's "Book" application. Calibre doesn't allow me to drag and drop, whereas I have no problem with epub files from my kobo. If it can give you a clue, I've tried resaving the epub in ebook-edit but I get the following message: calibre, version 6.21.0 ERROR: Unable to save a copy: Saving a book based on a folder is not supported. It looks like Apple has locked all the books I've uploaded to their application. If anyone has any ideas on how to get around this problem, I'd like to thank them in advance. Best regards David |

Use a 3rd party epub reader app as Apple's own "Books" is a bit proprietary.
Possibly Bluefire or Pocketbook on iOS (I have those on Android and I'm told they work on iOS). I found Apple's Music Player a pain. I had to find a Windows PC and install iTunes, whereas 3rd party players could see files transferred direct from Linux. A now dead iPhone. Last edited by Quoth; 06-18-2023 at 04:44 AM. |

books from apple's books applications are not actual epub files instead they are folders whose name endds with .epub. There are some scripts available to convert these into epub files after which you can work with them in calibre.
