It\u2019s available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The app is filled with pro-level features but is also easy to use if you want to do something simple like manage your eBook library or transfer eBooks between devices.<\/p>\n<p>The best part about Calibre is that it takes care of converting formats. You don\u2019t need to worry about downloading files in the MOBI format (which is Amazon Kindle\u2019s default eBook format). Even if you have eBooks in the open ePub format, Calibre will convert the eBook for you before transferring it to your Kindle (as long as you\u2019re using a DRM-free eBook).<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Is a MOBI File (and How Do I Open One)?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Go to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/calibre-ebook.com\/download\">Calibre\u2019s website<\/a>\u00a0to download the app. After you\u2019ve installed it, the Calibre Welcome Wizard will guide you through the setup process.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to choose a location for your Calibre Library. You can go with the default location or click the \u201cChange\u201d button to choose a different folder. If you plan to manage your entire eBook library using Calibre, we recommend you use a Dropbox or iCloud Drive folder to store your Calibre Library. Once you\u2019ve chosen your preferred location, click the \u201cNext\u201d button.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-541432 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Change-Calibre-Library-folder-and-click-on-Next.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Change Calibre Library folder and click Next\" width=\"650\" height=\"587\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>From the next screen, choose your Kindle model and then click the \u201cNext\u201d button.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-541433 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Select-your-Kindle-device-and-click-on-Next.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select your Kindle device and click Next\" width=\"650\" height=\"587\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On the next screen, Calibre will ask if you want to set up wireless email delivery for eBooks.
