Can Calibre be installed on a Smartphone? I like to read my books on my phone and have been using Kindle to do that. However, Amazon now requires the phone to be running Android ver 9 and my samsung phone is running ver 8 and cannot be updated to ver 9.

I love Calibre and have it on my PC. I could copy a pdf ebook to kindle and read it on my phone. But now, I can't do that. So, I would love to have Calibre on my phone as well as on my PC. Is there anyway I can do that? Thanks!

Calibre does not run on a phone.

There are apps like Calibre Sync however that are designed to run on a smart phone and integrate with Calibre to perform downloads and then allow you to launch a reader application.

Calibre is a Library Manager that offers Conversion. It needs crunch power and lots of storage availability for larger book collections.

If all you want is to read on your phone, then what you have will probably suffice. Besides, Calibre (just the app part) is huge (over 500MB on Windows).

The Kindle app is far from being the only one capable of reading ebooks. Just install something else.

You can also launch Calibre Content Server on desktop and load on mobile (might need port forwarding if away from home). It has builtin reader.
