How to Read Your Books Anywhere

Every title on BookClassics downloads in four formats — EPUB, PDF, TXT and HTML — so there's always one that fits your device. Not sure which to pick? Find your device below, or use the quick reference first.

EPUBThe all-rounderReflows to fit any screen. Works on nearly every e-reader, phone and tablet — start here.

PDFFixed layoutLooks the same everywhere and prints well, but doesn't reflow to small screens.

HTMLAny browserOpens straight in a web browser on any computer, phone or tablet — nothing to install.

TXTUniversal fallbackNo formatting or images, but it opens on literally anything with a text viewer.

Kindle

Newer Kindles — Send to Kindle

Download the EPUB file for your book.
Go to your Amazon account's Send-to-Kindle page — amazon.com/sendtokindle (or amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, etc. for your country).
Upload the file and wait for it to sync to your device.

Alternative — Email to Kindle

On Amazon: Menu → Manage Your Content and Devices → Devices tab → select your Kindle to find its email address.
On the same page, open the Preferences tab → Approved Personal Document E-mail List → add your own email address.
Email the EPUB file to your Kindle's address as an attachment.

Older Kindles (pre-2013)

Amazon's Send-to-Kindle service now converts EPUB automatically, even for these older devices — the two methods above already cover them. If your device still won't accept the file, install Calibre (free) on your computer and use its built-in "Convert books" tool to turn the EPUB into a MOBI file, then copy it over by USB.

Kobo

USB transfer

Download the EPUB file.
Connect your Kobo to your computer via USB.
Tap "Connect" on your Kobo's screen.
Drag the file into the Kobo drive that appears.

Newer models — Dropbox

Forma, Sage, Elipsa, Elipsa 2E and Libra Colour also support Dropbox — no cable needed.

On your Kobo, go to Settings → Dropbox and link your account.
Save the EPUB file to your Dropbox.
On your Kobo, tap the Dropbox icon to sync — the book appears in your library.

Nook

Download the EPUB file on your computer.
Connect your Nook via USB.
Tap "Connect" on your Nook's screen.
Copy the file into the "My Files" folder on the Nook drive.

Older Nooks (Simple Touch, original GlowLight) use the same EPUB file.

Other e-readers

Using a PocketBook, Boox, or another e-reader? Just download the EPUB file — most modern e-readers support it directly.

Phone or tablet

iPhone / iPad

Apple's Books app is pre-installed — other EPUB apps are available on the App Store.
Download the EPUB file — it's saved in the Files app.
Open the file from Files, then pick a reading app (directly, or via the Share button).

Reading apps include Books, Kindle, Neat Reader and PocketBook Reader.

Android

Install an EPUB reading app — Kindle, ReadEra and Moon+ Reader are all free.
Download the EPUB file.
Tap the download notification, or find it in your Files/Downloads app, and pick your reader.

Google Play Books won't open a local EPUB directly — upload the file to play.google.com/books first, then read it from your library.

Computer

Easiest: just open the PDF or HTML file — no extra software needed.

To read EPUB offline, try:

Calibre (Windows/Mac/Linux) — manages your whole library and converts between formats.
Thorium Reader (Windows/Mac/Linux) — a clean, open-source EPUB3 reader.
Apple Books (Mac) — built in, clean and simple.
Sumatra PDF (Windows) — lightweight and fast; handles EPUB despite the name.

Plain text, anywhere

Every book is also available as a plain TXT file — no formatting or images, but it's the simplest, most robust option of all. It opens on any device that can display a text file.
