How to upload.mobi & .epub files to a website?

Hello,
I work with authors who are wanting to sell their e-books directly as an .epub or .mobi file so that it can be easily download onto e-readers.
Currently BC only support pdf as an automatic download unfortunately so we could possibly get around this by creating a download page.
Has anyone created a download page so that the .epub & .mobi files can be downloaded easily onto e-readers etc?
Thank you
Carolyn

Hi Liam,
This is the question I put into BC Support yesterday
Hello Support,
Not sure where this fits in as an enquiry.
I work with authors who are self published and they offer for sale e-books. Now I am sure you are aware the platforms for e-books has changed quite rapidly in the past 18 months and more. But now with so many e readers out there, people are wanting to download a file that is compatible to their e reader, the same that they are able to download from the likes of Barnes & Noble, iDownloads, Amazon etc. I am now been asked by my authors that they want to offer a compatible file for download for these e-readers directly from their website. At present all we offer is a pdf which doesn't have the capabilities of an .epub file.
I couldn't find any answers in the knowledge base relating to these files.
My question is are we able to upload epub files for automatic download on BC? Will the system have any problems with a .epub file that you know of?
Look forward to your reply.
Thank you
Carolyn
This is the reply I got back from BC Support
Thank you for contacting us.
I have gone through the details.
This is unfortunately not possible , we can only use pdf format.
But I will try to pass on this information to product team as an enhancement request.
Also I would suggest you to post this in　forums so that we can know for some workaround or if some of the partners have implemented this.
So I am just looking for some answers as to how to or can I upload .mobi & .epub files that will download directly onto folks e-readers. Has some body done it, I have read in some of the forums on the internet around these files and some say you have to add a bit of script that allows the file to download cleanly onto devices, I haven't found a definitive answer as yet.Hence the reason for asking this question.
Appreciate any help on this matter.
Thank you

    Hi,
    Use <b>GUI_UPLOAD</b> to upload a text file from a shared folder.
    Use <b>GUI_DOWNLOAD</b> to download data in a file on the presentation server or use <b>OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER</b> and <b>CLOSE DATASET</b> statements to download data to the application server.
    Now, I hope the code for data fetching, if required, is already present in the report.

    If they don't digital-rights-management on them (if they do then check the site that you got them from for which apps you can use for them on your iPad) then you can add them to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Add To Library menu option - if using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it then add them to its iBooks app via File > Add To Library.
    Then connect your iPad to your computer and select it in your computer's iTunes, and use the Books tab to select and sync the epubs to your iPad's iBooks app

  • How to upload a PDF file in iCloud

    Hi everybody,
    I would like to know how to upload a PDF file in iCloud. I want to share some PDF files with my iPhone, MacBook and iMac.
    Thank you a lot!

    Yes, but the problem is will iBooks remember where I left off in that pdf file? Unlikely since it was deleted.  Also, what is handy about the kindle app is once you delete it an icon appears in the app to show that this file is in the cloud. I guess for reading pdfs the kindle app is better.  I am not saying that the kindle app would be that great for other things but at least with syncing and such it's much better.  Well, iCloud is meant for other things.  It's fine because I'll just use it for those other things and stick to the kindle app for reading pdfs.  Well I use endnote for reading technical pdfs, I'm just talking about novels and such on the kindle app. 

  • How to upload a XML file to Servlet

    Hi,
    I am new to Java, I have to upload an XML file to java/j2ee server. The web server running on the server is "Tomcat 4.1". My new requirement is I have to upload an "Input.XML" file, can you please tell me how to upload an XML file. If any samples appriciated very soon.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi!
    On the client side, the client's browser must support form-based upload. Most modern browsers do, but there's no guarantee. For example,
    <FORM ENCTYPE='multipart/form-data'
    method='POST' action='/myservlet'>
    <INPUT TYPE='file' NAME='mptest'>
    <INPUT TYPE='submit' VALUE='upload'>
    </FORM>
    The input type &quot;file&quot; brings up a button for a file select box on the browser together with a text field that takes the file name once selected. The servlet can use the GET method parameters to decide what to do with the upload while the POST body of the request contains the file data to parse.
    When the user clicks the "Upload" button, the client browser locates the local file and sends it using HTTP POST, encoded using the MIME-type multipart/form-data. When it reaches your servlet, your servlet must process the POST data in order to extract the encoded file. You can learn all about this format in RFC 1867.
    Unfortunately, there is no method in the Servlet API to do this. Fortunately, there are a number of libraries available that do. Some of these assume that you will be writing the file to disk; others return the data as an InputStream.
    You can see more things about Servlet on this website [http://pedrofao.blogspot.com|http://pedrofao.blogspot.com].
