Yes, I use Calibre under Windows for that purpose, but I wasn't aware there was a native Linux Version, is there? If there is a native linux version I would be installing it to make easier to get epub files into my wife's Kindle, assuming I can get Fedora to detect the device, which could be problematic, Fedora detecting my Nikon digital camera seems to be problematic, although I haven't tried it since upgrading to F41.On Fri, 6 Dec 2024 at 23:28, Stephen Morris <steve.morris.au@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

There are linux epub readers available, I thought I had one installed but I can't find it at the moment, but Okular will read epub files.
As will Calibre, just for an additional datapoint.
There's absolutely a native Calibre build:

I can't speak to Fedora's ability to update Kindles I'm afraid. I've reverted to paper books on the whole.
But searching the web should help clarify.
Thanks Will, after sending the mail I forgot to check the repositories and did a net search and found the calibre site with instructions on downloading and installing it, which I did.
regards,
Steve
