You can do it using Calibre. A Google search for the terms "epub pdf calibre" will give you several tutorials on how to do it.lia heera wrote:how do i convert the epub format to pdf format????please reply me as soon as possible,, i am very interested in reading but format problem hinders me to proceed further.

Could it be possible if I change my preferred format of the eBook instead of mobi, a PDF format I guess will be safe. I had problems with my personal computer and my android phone. I'm still out of budget. Could anyone teach me on how to change the preferred format of the eBook. I don't want to waste the second chance the administration had given me to be a part of the book review team. Thank you

2. Android phone
3. Yes
4. It's true that I have faced the same problem before when I tried to open the file directly from the place it was downloaded. But then I read the tips in this post and tried moving the file to the kindle folder in my phone itself. It still didn't work. Then I downloaded it again and moved it by using my SD card in my computer. I could finally access it in the Amazon Kindle app then.
5. When I open it directly from its place of download, I get an error message "Can't open file'. Even after doing the same procedure I had done previously (refer 4), the file is not shown in the Amazon Kindle app even after synchronization.
6. Yes, I got the error message " Can't open file" when I tried to access it directly from the downloads.
7. Yes, I have tried and re-tried all the Top Tips to no avail.
Kindly help me.

If I can not open epub ebook, can I change the book? I have changed my preference to only Docs and PDF.

If I can change the ebook I chose, I need to know how. As it is, I can not read the ebook I chose because I can not open it. If I can not change it, then what are my options?
