Epub format is an open and free eBook format that just like the web pages, can be edited using a web page editor. However, as earlier stated, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is not able to support the Epub files.

Luckily enough, the documents in the Epub format downloaded from either AbeBooks, eBooks.com or the Google Books among the many other different online collection, can be converted to a uniform format (MOBI format) that can be supported on our Kindle. Once converted into a readable format by your e-reader, the books will appear on your Amazon Kindle book menu just like any other Kindle eBook. This is facilitated by various software available online such as the Calibre (considered the simplest option).

To initiate the conversion of the Epub documents, ensure your device is connected to a computer with this eBook management software program (the Calibre). This program works with the Mac, Linux as well as the Windows. Once installed into the PC, leave the Calibre checked to initiate the program right away. Any time you connect your e-reader to the computer with this software, your Kindle will be detected and automatically perform the desired conversion for easy reading.

On your computer, click the Add Books in order to add the Epub books to the Calibre eBook management system. To do this, browse to the folder in which the books are and select the document or books you desire.
