With the Kindle Classic app it was possible to open a book in Kindle by locating the azw file and running open "mybook.azw" in terminal. Does anybody know how to do that in the new Kindle app for Mac?

Kindle service allows us to make notes as we read text and these notes synchronize to all kindle apps. Specifically I want to search MY notes, across all books in my kindle app or in 1 collection. In testing this, no note text is found, despite searching for a very specific phrase I entered into a note. Is this a feature on kindle for iPad app?

It seems that on iPad, iBooks, Kindle, or Kobo won't show any user highlightings? For example, just go to https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/Introduction/introObjectiveC.html and you will see at **the top right corner** to download the PDF file. Right click and save it into your Mac or PC, and use Acrobat 10 or Mac's Preview to highlight the word "Objective-C" on the frontpage of the file. We can close and re-open the file to see the highlighting. Now use DropBox or Box.net and transfer the file to iPad's iBooks (I am using the New iPad (3rd Gen)). (Done by downloading the file and "Open With" iBooks). The highlighting won't show up at all. This is a simple test... the other document which I highlighted for many pages also won't show any highlighting either. Is there a way to make the highlighting show 1. in iBooks 2. in other apps? I tried also the Kindle app and Kobo app on iPad and they won't show the highlighting either.

My mother in law has lots of iBooks on her iPad, and she got a Kindle that she finds easier to hold and read. I migrated her iBooks to the Kindle. It was a difficult and arduous process so I'm asking and answering this question here: How do you get books from the ipad Books app to a Kindle?

Is it possible to search for specific Kindle books in iPhone spotlight search. For example say I have To Kill a Mockingbird ebook in Kindle. Can I search for ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ in spotlight search?

There are books that I cannot obtain in the bookstore or amazon prime. For those books I'd like to be able to access them wherever I am (from all my devices, even if I get a new mac book). I also wish to be able to save all the notes in them and have that accessible. I assume one would new to sync in the cloud. Is this possible? I see the pdfs are in my computer's readers but I cannot have them sync between devices like, say, mendeley or evernote would. kindle isn't important. **What is important is that my pdfs are available everywhere.** Ideally backup with annotations. That doesn't seem to work on either. Thats the crux of my question. Which app is mostly irrelevant. Note that I strongly prefer to have have it work on 1) kindle or 2)iBooks in that order if possible but if it works on either that would be fantastic. ---- related: - https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/49831/syncing-non-amazon-purchased-ebooks-between-kindle-ipad-and-iphone

In the current version of the Kindle app for iPad OS 13, I cannot find any list of books I have previously purchased. I found a hamburger menu item for “Lists”, but that shows a blank page. Where should I be looking?

Is it possible to search for text in iBooks or the Kindle app? I'm deciding whether to buy electronic copies of some of my reference books, but I would only be purchasing them for the ability to search through the books for specific terms and words.

I bought a Kindle version of a reference book from Amazon. The Kindle reader for the iMac is not my favorite application and I would like to load the book in Calibre and possibly save as a PDF. Or just read it using Calibre. **Does anyone know if this is possible?**

There are two main categories in Kindle App for iPad: - Books - contains books purchased from Amazon; highlights are available at https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights — it works fine for me. - Personal Documents - contains all other books; highlights are not available online. So, I have book purchased at different source than Amazon and I would like to be able to export my highlights and notes to a text file (or any other common format). My approaches so far: - As far as I know, https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights is available for Books category and thus, for Amazon-purchased books only. There are no entries from "Personal Documents" - I cannot move my book from Personal Document to Books - there is no such option in Kindle App. There is no such option on Amazon's "Manage Your Kindle" site too. - There is no option to export all highlights. Kindle app has option to share a highlight via Facebook or Twitter, but there is no option for copy or export it. I synced my book with Kindle Touch and highlights are synced successfully. But: - There is no export option in Kindle Touch too. - I am unable to read highlights content on my cpu. The file with highlights has extension .azw3r and contains relative references, for example: annotation.personal.highlight 283390 283606. - There are no entries in My Clippings text file (there are entries there but for non-synced books). The question is: **How can I export my highlights and notes from iPad Kindle App to a TXT or any other common file?** *Note I'm using Windows but I put this question to Apple.SE since the root problem comes from iPad.*

I have an Amazon Kindle Keyboard, an iPhone, and an iPad. I have purchased a load of eBooks from the publisher, O'Reilly, and have downloaded them on to the Kindle via USB. I note these do not show up in my Kindle account on the Amazon website, and nor do they show up on my iPhone's or iPad's Kindle apps. Is it possible to put non-Amazon eBook purchases into my Kindle account so they show up on all my devices?

How can I open several instances of the kindle reader at the same time, so that I can have a different book open in each one? I found this: [Multiple Kindle Windows on PC, Mac](http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1D7SY3BVSESG&cdThread=Tx3F7B4V6Y5QGMT) Which suggests using multiple cloud readers, but I want to use the desktop version.

I am thinking of moving my extensive eBook library to iBooks or Kindle. Has anyone done this, and what does it take? I just don't want book libraries in multiple proprietary formats, and have to look for content across apps.

Is there a way to bulk delete "personal documents" from the Kindle iOS app? They don't appear under the app folder in itunes when the phone is plugged in to a computer and my web searches have been fruitless. Thanks.

I am trying to use the Kindle iPad app as a storage base for all of my PDFs. But I'm disappointed that I can't seem to find a way to search the text within a PDF using the Kindle iPad App. Am I missing something? Seems like a critical, missing feature. Note that it is possible to search within a book on both iBooks and Kindle . This question is specifically about PDF. It is also possible to open these files in Acrobat Reader or OSX Preview, and the text is searchable within those applications.

MacOS Kindle version 1.12.0 no longer seems to keep downloaded books in the My Kindle Library location, no new files are showing up there. Does anyone know where they are being stored now? Without these files to find and remove the DRM for use on other non-kindle readers I'll probably just go back to finding my books on DRM free sites 8(

Even though I have had an iPad for a while, I haven't taken the plunge to buy any ebooks yet. I'd like to make a decision on whether to prefer buying iBooks or Kindle before I buy any so that I can keep my collection in one place. **iBooks or Kindle: What are the reasons to choose one or the other?** I also have an iPhone for some reading, and don't imagine I'll ever buy the Kindle hardware (as nice as they are at present).

I want to speed read on I pad. I have Kindle app and iBooks installed. In order to do that I need to split the screen by two vertical lines so as per image. Is there any software I can use for that can split the screen like that?

After I updated my Kindle for Mac app 2 mos. ago I can no longer find the azw book files on my Mac to convert them so I can read them on my KOBO ereader. I use to find them in a My Kindle Content file but that has disappeared. I have Ult. DRM & Calibre but they won't work without the azw files, and I can't find them on my mac anymore. Can anyone help me? The answers on this site about this are years old & do not apply to my problem.
