Kobo · EPUB and PDF

Send a book to your Kobo from your phone, no cables

Open the Kobo's browser, type the 4-character key you'll see, and pick the book from your phone or computer. The EPUB arrives as it is, with no conversion. Free, and no account.

Send a bookWorks with DRM-free books.

How it works

  1. On the Kobo, open the browser (More, Beta Features and Web Browser) and type pecia.app/en/send.
  2. You'll see a 4-character key and a QR code.
  3. On your phone or computer, open pecia.app/en/send/upload, type the key (or scan the code) and pick your book.
  4. Tap the link that appears on the Kobo and confirm the download. The book shows up in your library.

Which formats a Kobo takes

A Kobo reads EPUB and PDF, so they arrive as they are, with nothing converted.

What about DRM books?

It only works with DRM-free books, the ones you can move between devices. A DRM book (from Amazon, Kobo or an eBiblio loan) can't be converted or read outside its own app, and we don't try.

What happens to your file

We keep it for a few minutes, only to hand it to you, then delete it: 10 minutes after you download it, or after 5 of inactivity. We don't read it or keep copies. You can remove it sooner with the trash icon on the e-reader's screen.
