Have you ever tried to download a or PDF and try to read it in the Kindle for Android app? If so, you’ve probably encountered the annoying problem of the ebook or PDF not opening or not appearing in the library of the Kindle reading app. If you download a Kindle-compatible ebook with the Chrome web browser on an Android device, for example. All you’ll get at the end is an irritating “can’t open file” message. Then if you go into the downloads folder using a file manager and tap on the ebook, that won’t work either. If it’s a PDF you’ll at least get the option to open it with the Kindle app, but the file doesn’t get added to the library list so you can’t easily go back and access it again. To get sideloaded ebooks and PDFs to work properly with the Kindle for Android app, you need to manually place the file in the proper location.
You can sideload PDFs, Mobi, and Kindle format ebooks into the Kindle app. It’s easy, just not very self-explanatory if you haven’t done it before. You can also use the apps from a computer or use your to send ebooks and PDFs to the Kindle app—these get added to your Kindle library and are synced across multiple devices—but if you just want to load a book that’s already on your device or downloaded with the browser and don’t want to deal with routing it through Amazon, this is how to get it into the Kindle Android app. Copy eBooks and PDFs to Kindle Folder Basically all that you have to do is copy the ebook or PDF file into the Kindle folder. Use a file manager app (I use in the video below) to locate the PDF or ebook that you want to load into Kindle for Android, and then move it to the Kindle folder.
If you downloaded the book or PDF with the web browser, it will be located in the “Download” folder. With ES File Explorer, all you have to do is long-press the file to bring up the option to copy, cut, etc. If you have multiple files you can select them all at once. Then just go back to the main list of folders and paste them into the root of the “kindle” folder. Here’s a video tutorial below that shows the process from beginning to end.

Luckily, there are plenty of tools to help you quickly convert files purchased through Amazon to a format that’s viewable on any number of PDF-supported devices. Below are two such pieces of software, along with detailed instructions on how to convert a Kindle book to PDF.
Download the AZW files first Both of these software options require your Kindle books to be in AZW format rather than the new KFX format that Kindles are using now. You can get the AZW file by logging into your Amazon account on your computer or laptop. Hover where it says Your Account and select Manage Your Content and Devices. Where it says Show at the top left, choose Books and then tap the three dots at the left next to the title or titles you want and choose Download & transfer via USB. You’ll be prompted to choose one of your Kindle devices and the AZW file will download onto your computer. Note: Calibre does now offer a plugin called the KFX Input plugin, which allows you to import KFX files. Convert using EPUB Converter — web-based As the name implies, EPUB Converter is a free online utility used to convert ebook files to and from their native format.
The tool currently includes options for converting electronic publications, aka EPUBs, to PDF, MOBI, and AZW, among other formats, as well as one for directly converting Kindle files to PDF. It’s speedy, simple, and lacks a heavy desktop footprint. How’s that for sustainable? Step 1: Access EPUB Converter Launch your favorite browser, then navigate to EPUB Converter’s Step 2: Upload and convert your Kindle file Assuming you have the file(s) in question housed on your machine, click the yellow Add File button located below the PDF information and above the conversion instructions. Next, locate the Kindle file you wish to convert — most likely formatted in Amazon’s proprietary file type, AZW or MOBI — and click the gray Open button located in the bottom-right corner of the pop-up window.
EPUB Converter also allows for simultaneous uploading and converting, so feel free to add as many files you’d like. When finished, click the yellow Start Upload button to the right of the file you just added. Step 3: Download the PDF Once the conversion is complete — a potentially lengthy process depending on the file size — right-click or CTRL-click the resulting PDF file and select the Save link as option to save the file to your desired location. Alternatively, left-click or single-click the link to prompt the download, or to view the PDF in your browser.
EPUB Converter will host the file on its server for two hours, providing you with plenty of time to download your new PDF. You can repeat the process as many times as necessary by clicking the Add File button housed below your newly converted file.
