Installing Calibre on Your Computer
You have several different ways to create MOBI and EPUB files. The software that I recommend is Calibre. It’s free, and it has versions for Windows, OS X, and Linux. You can find the Calibre website at
For simplicity’s sake, I assume that you’re using Windows. (The Calibre site has instructions for Mac OS X and Linux users also.) To download and install Calibre, follow these steps:
1. Go to http://calibre-ebook.com/download
.
2. Click the Windows icon.
3. Click the Download Calibre link.
4. Navigate to the folder where you want to save the file and then click Save.
5. After the download is complete, double-click the downloaded file, and click Run to install the software on your computer.
6. Select the check box to accept the terms of agreement and then click Install.
7. During the installation process, leave the default options selected on each screen, whenever you are offered a choice.
8. When the installation is finished, click Finish.
