Can you also read e-books from Amazon with Tolino?

Amazon has a large selection of e-books, all in Mobi format for the Kindle. If you have found an e-book and would like to read it on a Tolino, this is only possible via a detour.

This is how reading Amazon e-books on the Tolino is possible

If you use a Tolino as an e-book reader and would like to read an e-book for the Amazon Kindle on it, this is not so easy. This is because the Tolino only supports book files in EPUB format, but Amazon e-books are always sold as Mobi files. To still read e-books from Amazon on the Tolino, it is necessary to first convert them to EPUB format using a program like Calibre.

Read with Tolino: How to convert e-books from Amazon

To convert an e-book that you have purchased from Amazon so that it can be opened by the Tolino, please first download the program "Calibre". This is available for free and can be used on both Windows PC and Mac.

1. Once you have successfully installed Calibre on your computer, please launch the program and drag & drop the e-book file you want to convert into the program.
2. Alternatively, you can also go to "Add Books" in Calibre and select the e-book files.
3. Haben Sie alle E-Books eingefügt, verbinden Sie Ihren Tolino bitte per USB-Kabel mit dem PC beziehungsweise Mac und warten Sie, bis dieser vom Programm erkannt wurde.
4. Klicken Sie nun auf das zu konvertierende Buch und wählen Sie „An Reader senden“ aus, um die Datei umzuwandeln und auf den Tolino zu kopieren.
