Android device.<\/strong> For my Android phone I\u2019ve used two methods sucessfully:<\/p>\n[A] downloading to a PC and transferring to the phone from there (using drag-and-drop in Windows Explorer).<\/p>\n
[B] downloading on the phone itself (i.e. if you use your phone to read the email containing the download link).<\/p>\n
I use the free Aldiko Reader app on my Android phone, which seems really nice \u2013 you\u2019ll find it in the Play store (there\u2019s a paid version too but I\u2019m not sure what the advantages are). For other readers the process of getting the book into the app once the file is on your phone may differ\u2026<\/p>\n
For [A] the process is:<\/p>\n
1. Get the files onto your PC as explained in point 1) of the main post above<\/p>\n
2. Connect the phone to the PC via USB cable, and ensure it\u2019s connected in \u201cDisk Drive\u201d mode (not \u201cCharge only\u201d)<\/p>\n
3. Locate the .epub file on your PC using Windows Explorer<\/p>\n
4. Drag and drop (copy) the file to a suitable folder on your phone \u2013 I\u2019d suggest the \u2018download\u2019 folder<\/p>\n
5. Start the Aldiko app, tap \u2018Files\u2019 (you\u2019ll see a list of folders on the phone), then tap whatever folder you copied the file into (e.g. the \u2018download\u2019 folder)<\/p>\n
6. You should see your .epub file there \u2013 tap to select it, then tap the \u2018Import to Aldiko\u2019 button that appears<\/p>\n
7. Use the Back button to get back to the main menu in Aldiko, and your book will be there!<\/p>\n
And for [B]:<\/p>\n
1. Download the ZIP file on your Android phone (note, on my phone all downloaded files are saved to the \u2018download\u2019 folder by default, but I\u2019m not sure if this is the same on all Android devices)<\/p>\n
2. Go to \u2018Downloads\u2019 (you can find it in the All Apps list)<\/p>\n
3. Tap the ZIP file to open it (you\u2019ll see all the files that are inside)<\/p>\n
4. Select \u2018Extract All\u2019 from the phone\u2019s Menu button (the button on the phone itself, just next to the actual touch screen) *For those who care to know such things, the unzipped files end up in the \u2018download\u2019 folder alongside the ZIP file, but it\u2019s not apparent \u2013 you just have to trust that they\u2019re there*<\/p>\n
5. Start the Aldiko app, tap \u2018Files\u2019 (you\u2019ll see a list of folders on the phone), then tap the \u2018download\u2019 folder<\/p>\n
6. From there, depending on how the ZIP file is structured, just tap through the folders until you find the .epub file, tap to select it, then tap the \u2018Import to Aldiko\u2019 button that appears<\/p>\n
7. Use the Back button to get back to the main menu in Aldiko, and your book will be there!<\/p>\n
G) Kobo.<\/strong> The Kobo Touch reader should work like Nook with Calibre, though I haven\u2019t tried it.<\/p>\nHOWEVER, it can also work like this:<\/p>\n
1. Download the file from the Closed Circle purchase link as a .epub.<\/p>\n
2. Plug in your Kobo Reader via the USB cable and allow it to be recognized as a USB drive. (Press Connect on the Kobo when it gives you the \u201ccomputer connected\u201d dialogue box.)<\/p>\n
3. Copy the .epub file to the USB drive representing the Kobo.<\/p>\n
4. Properly \u201ceject\u201d the Kobo reader so that the file is truly written.<\/p>\n
5. Unplug the Kobo reader. It should automatically recognize the .epub and add it to the front page as a new library entry.<\/p>\n
This I did on Linux for the new Deliberations I just bought nary a few minutes ago. It should work very similarly on Windows. I don\u2019t know enough about Mac to say. I suspect this process would also work on Nook: they are very similar devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Nook is one thing, and we’ve had no problems with that. The Nook Tablet seems to be something else. One thing that apparently works is buying the .epub only, directly onto the tablet—but buying the .zip file to get the other formats and unzipping on the computer… apparently presents special problems re a computer […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":751,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-journal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cherryh.com\/WaveWithoutAShore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cherryh.com\/WaveWithoutAShore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cherryh.com\/WaveWithoutAShore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cherryh.com\/WaveWithoutAShore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/751"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cherryh.com\/WaveWithoutAShore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.cherryh.com\/WaveWithoutAShore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4221\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cherryh.com\/WaveWithoutAShore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cherryh.com\/WaveWithoutAShore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cherryh.com\/WaveWithoutAShore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
