If you need to change any metadata (title, author etc.) do it in this page. On your top right, select the Output format (PDF) from the drop-down list. Doing that will launch the Convert window where we need to specify the desired output settings.

If you wish to convert many EPUBs in bulk, select all of them first, then right-click and select Convert books > Bulk convert.

From the library, right-click the EPUB in question and select Convert books then Convert individually.

Calibre will copy the EPUB into the default library location (the one you set when installing you can change it by clicking on the Books icon in the toolbar) and then add it to the library.

Launch Calibre and add your EPUB from the Add Books icon in the toolbar.

It cross-platform (Windows, Linux & MacOS) plus there’s a portable if you prefer to carry it around in a portable storage.

If you haven’t yet installed Calibre, you can get it from the official download page here.

Note however that the annotations are not embedded into the EPUB as it is the case with PDFs. On Linux you can try Foliate which does the same and is more feature packed. On Windows you can highlight text in EPUBs and export them using Bluefire Reader.

UPDATE: Since writing this post I’ve come across a two EPUB readers that support annotations. I tried using a couple of e-book readers (SumatraPDF, FBReader & Ice Cream Reader) before realizing it was just impossible for me to read without making some notes.Īs a result, I began my search for ways to convert the EPUB in question to PDF and that’s when I realized I had Calibre Portable from years back that could convert various E-Book formats. So the other day I found myself in a situation where I wanted to start a book but it was in EPUB format. With flexibility, I mean it allows me to highlight, add notes and do a lot of other stuff that I can’t simply accomplish with the EPUB format. I prefer the former thanks to its flexibility and software support. That means I encounter different kinds of e-book formats, but usually it tends to be either PDF or EPUB.
