Fair play!!! Very well explained. I'm considering getting a Kobo Libre Colour but wanted to make sure that I can still convert my Amazon bought books to EPUB.
Thank ypu. I watched a few videos but your explained it without assuming any knowledge. Easy to follow and I've successfully transferred my books over ❤
I’ve heard that Amazon may snatch back books that you’ve already purchased if they decide not to sell them anymore. I want to keep all my books. (I don’t have a Kobo). So then, I would just follow the majority of your steps up until the transfer to kobo part)? Or does the way you are downloading to the computer change the book to a different format for exclusively for Kobos?
I followed all your steps, but the books added to Kobo are not showing up in "My Library" in Kobo on the Kobo Desktop app or in my iPhone Kobo iOS app. I think that they (the books we move over to Kobo from Calibre) are just on the Kobo eReader, not the Kobo library. Bummer! In other words, they don't sync to other devices.
As someone who uses two different colored e-readers, would you recommend the black frame or the white one? I want to buy the white one for my Kobo Libra 2, but they say the black one is less tiring for the eyes? I would be happy if you could share your opinion on this subject with me.💐🙏
I was literally just thinking about this the other day how I should’ve gotten the black one! White is cute BUT it is tiring on the eyes. I plan to get a skin for mine soon
I have a question! When setting up Calibre do you select Kindle or Kobo? Trying to download my kindle books through here so I can add them to my Kobo! unsure what to do! thanks
@@CozygirlSteph Oh, my Amazon account! I have purchased books on amazon to read on the Kindle app on my ipad. And I'm hoping there's a way to move them onto my Kobo device?
@meeeksyo there is but you would need your use an computer for the process as the Calibre website and download will not work on an iOS device unless it’s an Mac . Nor an android phone etc
I just ordered my Kobo libra colour. Once you've formatted in calibre (I know they have to be done individually) once all books are done can you transfer all of them at the same time or is that also individual? I have about 1000 or so books it'd be a pain on top to drag across one at a time on top of having to convert one at a time..
@@CozygirlSteph thankyou! I have about 1,000 that I bought on It and about 3,000-4,000 gifted to me on a USB the USB ones will be easier as they're I think in pdf form and still on a USB as a back up. I was just a little worried about the kindle ones.. I'm keeping my kindle though but might not be reading it anymore..
Hallo, I don’t know how to download the books from the Amazon website. I don’t have a kindle and when I click on ‘Transfer via USB’ it says that it isn’t possible because I don’t have a compatible device. Is there a way to get it working?
@@CozygirlSteph I can’t find the exact picture I took but it was something like “this plugin does not contain top-level__init__.py file” idk much about computers or calibre but I noticed my file size was bigger even tho I downloaded the same thing you did. Not sure if that’s the issue or not
Sucks that you still need the kindle to do this because the whole point was to get the kindle back to Satan 🤣 Amazon got me messed up with this Monopolistic energy.
Thank you soooo much. I just got my kobo yesterday and was so worried about having to rebuy books. This was an easy and effective tutorial!
You’re so welcome!!

Is there a way to add the books you bought on the kobo to Calibre?
Yes it’s the same process!
When I tried downloading the plugin on caliber it’s not uploading on it how can I get it on caliber?
You have to restart Calibre sometimes to get it to show up

Yes! So sorry I just saw this! Your comment was hidden!
Can I get books from Kindle app, not device ?

@@CozygirlSteph thanks for your reply 💐🙏
@pastambutique2558 of course!!
Is there a way to select all and transfer/download all? Or does it have to be 1 by 1?
1 by 1 unfortunately!!
@ **slowly melts** thank you!!
I know it sucks!! You’re welcome!
I have a question! When setting up Calibre do you select Kindle or Kobo? Trying to download my kindle books through here so I can add them to my Kobo! unsure what to do! thanks
Select kindle
I used to read Kindle book on my iPad using the app. Is there another way to do this without having to own a kindle device?
On your phone you can do the same!
@@CozygirlSteph I'm stuck at the Kindle Serial Number part though.... I've never owned a kindle so I'm not sure what to do
Where are you trying to transfer the books from ?
@@CozygirlSteph Oh, my Amazon account! I have purchased books on amazon to read on the Kindle app on my ipad. And I'm hoping there's a way to move them onto my Kobo device?

I just got mines today
But is it legal to remove the DRM? I don’t want to get into trouble for it.

You have to have an kindle to connect it to
Can Calibre be used on a Chromebook? I don't have a Windows or a Mac computer to use...
I don’t think so!
Would this work if you dont have the actual kindle anymore just the kindle app?
No it will not unfortunately
@ that’s so sad. I really want the kobo but Im worried about the book selection not being like kindle
@pattyesf it is not as vast as kindle
Sadly can’t do it anymore it’s locked by drm
Wait, like this video isn't something you can do anymore?
@ there’s a drm extension that you can add ! I found out through another vid . That helped me download but you do need a kindle serial number
Does this work for ebooks published from 2024 on? I've seen there's a new copyright system.
Hello I am not sure! I’m sorry
I’m getting an error message when I try to install the plugin I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong
What’s the error message ?
@@CozygirlSteph I can’t find the exact picture I took but it was something like “this plugin does not contain top-level__init__.py file” idk much about computers or calibre but I noticed my file size was bigger even tho I downloaded the same thing you did. Not sure if that’s the issue or not
@tiabia6075 hmm I can look into it for you
@@CozygirlSteph okay thank you I really appreciate it
@tiabia6075 you’re welcome!
But if you strip the DRM is that illegal? I don’t want to get my account banned or arrested or sued.
No as long as you don’t try to sell them or anything your good
Does this work for apple?
I am not entirely sure but I can check for you!
Goodness that’s a lot of steps 😩
Sadly it is 🥹

Lmao right I literally noticed that too!
I'm getting a error message when I try to add the plug in. What is the issue?
What error message ?
@@CozygirlSteph I figured out how to add the plugin. Thank you.
