"I've got a lot of ePub books on the website, but when I transferred those ePub files my Kindle, I didn't see any of them. Why? What's the matter?"
Did you ever want to put your ePub files on your Kindle (device or app)? When you try to download or purchase some ebooks online, you are likely to get ePub files because ePub is the most common ebook format adopted by ebook retailers around the world, such as Rakuten Kobo, Google Play, Nook. If you simply plug your Kindle into the computer with USB and move your epub books to the Kindle folder, you won’t be able to see any of them in your Kindle device because Kindle does not support epub format at all.
Therefore, here comes the easiest way to read EPUB on Kindle. Maybe you have already thought about it, that is, to convert epub to Kindle format. So in this blog, I will share with you how to convert epub to Kindle Mobi/AZW3 format. No matter the ePubs are DRM-free or DRM-protected, you will get the solution.
Part 1. Convert DRM-Free EPUB to Kindle Mobi/AZW3
For DRM-free EPUB ebooks, it’s so much easy to convert them to Kindle format. Just use the free ebook management software Calibre or the online ebook converter tool Zamzar to help you. The whole process is too simple.

What you need is a more powerful tool that combines eBook DRM Removal and eBook Converter, that is, Epubor Ultimate.
