How to convert a document into an eBook to read on iBooks

Apple has integrated iBooks into all iOS devices, allowing users to read eBooks as well as many other document formats. However, RTF, DOC, TXT, and LIT files are not always compatible. Therefore, to ensure that documents can be read properly on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, you need to convert them to a suitable eBook format.

The good news is that you can easily convert these documents to eBooks using Calibre , a free tool that supports converting many different file formats.

 

How to convert a document into an eBook to read on iBooks

Download and install  Calibre  on your computer.

Calibre is a tool that helps convert eBooks from various formats to EPUB, allowing you to read them on iOS and eBook Reader. However, the software does not support direct conversion from DOC or DOCX to EPUB. Therefore, if you are working with DOC or DOCX files, you need to convert them to a format that Calibre supports, such as LIT, HTML, PRC, RTF, PDB, TXT, or PD.

To convert a DOC file to HTML or RTF, first open the DOC file in Word and select File => Save As => Web Page or Rich Text Format .
