Calibre for iPad?

Tracey68 · 12-28-2019, 07:01 AM

I’ve been a long time Calibre user, but have recently had to switch from a laptop to an iPad. The only problem with that is that I can’t seem to find a way to continue to use Calibre. Is that possible? Or is there anything similar to Calibre that is available for iPad? I need something that will convert ePub to mobi, without too much hassle, and allow me to organise my ebook library.

Thanks so much for your help!

Not that I know.
I just say "I Won't" (get rid of my real computer

)
There are places for both. Just because speed and storage have risen for portable devices, does not meant the use for the other goes away.

Every day I hear reports of someones Tablet (Ipad is at the top of the list) being snatched. Think about it. Your books are safe at home (office) on your desktop PC

Some reader apps provide primitive library cataloguing features, but I don't know of any that do conversions. There are several online conversion services - many of which use calibre under the covers.

Thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it! Yeah, I’d definitely prefer a PC, but at the moment it’s just not in the budget unfortunately. My iPad is always kept at home though, so at least there’s no chance of it getting snatched.

I think I’ll just have to go with online converting for now then. Thanks for your help though. Much Appreciated!
