The FIRST THING you need to do is change the output format at the top right to “EPUB”. Once you have your metadata updated, it’s time to get to converting! You can click “Convert Books” at the top while you have your title highlighted, and a dialogue box will open. You can also enter your ISBN here under “IDs” if you have one.

BEFORE you click on “Convert Book,” go ahead and click “Edit Metadata” while your book is selected. Your Metadata is the information about your book, including author, publisher, cover image, etc. Calibre will recognize this, and we can format it after we’ve converted it.

You’ll want to use proper headings and TOC formatting that is built into MS Word. If you haven’t already, make sure your Word doc is properly formatted to make the conversion as simple as possible.
Your’re going to either click “Add Books” up in the top left, or just drag and drop your MS Word file. You’ve downloaded Calibre and you see the interface looks like this (except yours won’t have any books yet): If you’re uploading to other sites like Google Play Books, iTunes Producer, Nook, or Barnes & Noble. epub to the KDP backend and keep all your wonderful fonts and formatting for your readers to download on their devices. mobi to be directly added to their Kindles.Īs a publisher, however, you can upload an.
