If you’re like most people, you probably have an e-reader that you use to read books on your computer. But what if you want to read books on your Kindle? There are a few ways to transfer e-books to your Kindle. The easiest way is to use the Kindle’s built-in reader. But if that’s not enough for you, there are also a few third-party readers that can be used. The best way to transfer e-books is to use the Amazon Kindle Transfer Service. This service is free and it takes about 10 minutes to complete the process. Once it’s completed, all of your books will be transferred over to your Kindle. If you don’t have an Amazon Kindle, there are also a few other ways to transfer e-books. One way is through USB cables. Another way is through the cloud storage service iCloud. Finally, some people use Google Drive or DropBox for their e-reader needs.

Option 1: Kindle App
First, you’ll need to download the EPUB file onto your iPhone, iPad, or Android device and find it in the file manager app—commonly called “Files.”
Open the share menu and select the Kindle app.
On Android, the app will open with a list of all your Kindle devices. Select your eReader and tap “Send.”
On iPhone and iPad, you’ll need to toggle off “Save in Kindle Library” and then select your device before tapping “Send.”
A notification or pop-up will alert you that the eBook has been successfully sent to your Kindle. That’s it!

Option 2: Email
Every Kindle eReader comes with its own custom email address. You can transfer EPUB files to your device by sending them to this email address.
First, head on over to amazon.com/myk in a web browser on your PC or smartphone. Select the Kindle you want to use from the “Devices” tab and click the device name in the expanded menu.
On the next page, you’ll see the “@kindle.com” email address for your Kindle. You can select “Edit” to change the address if you’d like. Remember this email address.
Now, all there is to do is send an email to that address with your eBook file attached!
The eBook will be sent to your Kindle eReader. You can force the Kindle to check for new books by opening the home screen menu and tapping the “Sync” button.
You may need to wait a few minutes, but it shouldn’t take long for the book to appear in your Kindle Library.
