trouble transferring epubs

bulldogmo · 06-06-2018, 06:35 PM

Kindle Fire comes with the Kindle reader, which refuses to work with files on the storage chip option at all. Won't remember the book or where you left off. So I got a third party Bookari that reads epubs great and a lot of features that I enjoy.

The problem is for some reason I can send files that I work on in Calibre to the device, and I have to do it manually. Once there Bookari finds them and them to the index and I can read them just find.

Any clue why I can't transfer?

Right click the device icon in calibre and choose configure this device, then tell calibre you want to send epub files to it.

thank you, but the epub option not showing up, all I see is azw3, mobi, and pdf. Do I have a setting wrong the kindle fire?

Not sure what you mean, all formats show up when customizing all devices. Post a screenshot of what you are doing.

okay, I have 3 screen shots on what I am doing, but I seem unable to attach them to send to you.

When you are writing your message, look down the screen for Additional Options and then for the box with the title Attach Files. Click on the button labelled with Manage Attachments.

Looking at your thumbnails, did you follow Kovid's advice and add epub as a format to be sent to the device? Right click on the device icon and select configure device which should pop up a window (see attached image) in which you would select epub (and any other formats that Bookari supports that are not already selected).
