Reading .mobi or .epub files in MAC

Hi, is there any free ebook reader software supporting .mobi or .epub file formats?

There is an experimental Mac OS port of FBReader (http://fbreader.org/) available at http://gobunov.ru/projects.html.
I haven't used it, so cannot vouch for it, but it may be worth a try.

SOLVED! How to Read Your Own epub files on PlayBook (sort of)

Hi boys, girls and epub lovers.
I've finally discovered a rather straight-forward way to read epub files on your beloved PlayBook. Follow the steps below for reading joy:
1 - Visit http://bookworm.oreilly.com and follow the 'Sign Up' link. Create an account
2 - Sign in to the site and click on the big 'ADD A BOOK' link on the left hand side.
3 - Upload one of your favourite epub books to the site.
4 - On your PlayBook (if you're not already using it), visit http://m.bookworm.oreilly.com and sign in.
5 - You should see your book listed. Click on it to open and start reading!
Some nice things about it:
1 - The site remembers the last page that you were reading the next time you sign in
2 - If you read your book in portrait mode on the PlayBook, I discovered that just tapping the screen once will make the page scroll down
3 - Typeface and size can be adjusted at the top of the screen.
4 - You can literraly jump between any device with a web browser and continue to read your book
Some problems with this method:
1 - You need internet access
2 - Chapter loading takes a moment because the book is stored online
3 - Resizing of text is limited.
If you can get over these minor problems, then it's fine. You can easily read on the move with the Bridge Browser and I've just read a couple of chapters of a book and it was a joy to read.
Thanks O'Reilly!

How to keep Korean fonts when converting .pages file to .epub file

Hi, I am also asking about embedding Korean fonts other than English when converting .pages file to .epub file.
I really like to use application for Mac in order to make certain file format for e-books though there seems to be some problem that should be improved.
Please answer to my question and help me to find the best way to make .epub file with Mac.

You should have no problem keeping your text in Korean when you convert to .epub from .pages. Are you saying that the Korean is converted to something else? Please provide more details about what is not working the way you want.
Pages can't embed fonts, you would have to use another app. But there is no need to embed fonts to create Korean books.

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

IBooks doesn't read my epub files

Hi,
I have installed the latest version of ibooks on my iPad.
First of all I wanted to try if it works properly.
So I sent an e-book (epub format bought from a seller that is not Apple) by e-mail from my Mac. I recovered it from the mail (the e-book icon - the same as iBooks - was recognized as an ePub file) and it asked me if i wanted to open it with ibooks.
Well, the app said that the file was not in a proper format to be read.
This happened with other epub files.
Another app read those files perfectly (asked me only the authorization to read epub files inserting ID and PW for the Adobe account).
iBooks asked me nothing about the authorization...
Does it means that iBooks reads epub files bought only from Apple? In this case i won't be able to recover all my old e-books with this app.
Thank you.

I have you seen my reply on your duplicate thread : ibooks doesn't read epub files ? If the epub has digital rights management on it then you won't be able to read it in the iBooks app

Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library. Do you want to associate them now? When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones. I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID?

Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work. How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac OS version 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work. How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)." My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac? Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.

Why can't I read EPub files on my Kobo Touch?

I have been successfully downloading and reading EPub files on my Kobo Touch for months now. However, after the recent upgrade to the Touch I have been having some challenges. I follow the same procedure as always to download library books to ADE and then drag and drop the file to the KoboeReader icon in the ADE screen. ADE says the file has transfered and the book shows in the Kobo library in ADE. When I disconnect my eReader and turn it on the books do not appear on the Touch. Any suggestions?
Note: I did try de-authorizing and re-authorizing my Touch and it didn't correct the problem.

Sorry. I think you misread me. I know you said the software upgrade messed me up and I agree. It was Kobo Support who said the ebook/library book that caused the problem. When I called Kobo Support to see if they had a fix they told me it was my library's problem. I kept going back to the software upgrade and all the trouble shooting I had done - including the paperclip in the back - but the tech just kept getting me to do the same things over and over. You were spot on that they would try to place the blame on something other than their upgrade but they didn't blame ADE. The tech didn't have any new suggestions . I eventually gave up on her and took the device back to its like new settings, unintalled and reinstalled all the software on both my device and pc. It is working now but unfortunately I lost a couple of books. Thanks for your input.

Where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file. mac osx reader XI

where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file. mac osx reader XI
every time i click on a file to downloac
i get a reader message Before viewing PDF ... you must launch adobe reader and then accept the End User License Agreement. Ive searched every part of the menu for this and cant fine it

Ok, so the Reader app works. Fine, but why did you say ",the reader won't open any more", that led us a confusing direction.
Ok, the problem is most likely caused because you downloaded Acrobat Pro, which takes over from Reader, then got rid of it. You now have part of Acrobat in Safari, not part of Adobe Reader.
There are two things to try to fix this. The first and easiest is to download and install Adobe Reader again. That should puts its stuff back in Safari with a bit of luck.
Important note for others following this thread. Downloading Adobe Reader is not going to help you if you have not understood and followed the instructions to "launch" Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat). Make sure you understand what "launch" means before downloading anything again.

How do I migrate files created in a Windows OS to a new external drive that is formatted as a MAC drive. I want to read and write these files back to the new drive.

If all you're trying to do is move the files from the Windows external to the Mac external, you can simply connect them both to the Mac and drag the files from the Windows drive to the Mac drive. If you want to move the files back and forth between them, you'll need to establish the format of the Windows external. Macs can read and write to FAT32 and exFAT (which can handle files larger than 4GB) formatted drives but can only read NTFS formatted drives without additional software. With the Windows drive connected, you can check its format with Disk Utility.
