How to Change Adobe ePub to Kindle Format
The ePub e-book format, developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum, is a popular format used by many e-readers, including Barnes & Noble's Nook and the Sony Reader. This format, however, is not compatible with Amazon's Kindle device, so you have to convert it to the Kindle-compatible MOBI format by using a converter: either Calibre, a free e-book manager and converter; ePub to Kindle Converter, which includes 15 free uses before you have to pay for the service; or Online-convert.com, where you upload ePub files and then download them in a converted MOBI format.
