If you’ve ever purchased ebooks from BOOKWALKER and tried to read them on your Amazon Kindle, you’ve probably run into a frustrating problem: you cannot read Bookwalker on Kindle.
So what’s going on? And more importantly—is there any way to read BookWalker books on Kindle?
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know, including the gap between BookWalker and Kindle, how to convert BookWalker books to Kindle format, and how to transfer BookWalker books to a Kindle device.
Can You Read BookWalker Books on Kindle?
Short answer: No (officially).
Below are the real reasons:
- BookWalker ebooks are protected by strict DRM.
- BookWalker books can only be read inside the BookWalker app and via its web reader.
- They cannot be downloaded as EPUB or PDF files.
- Meanwhile, Kindle only supports its own formats (AZW, KFX, and EPUB via conversion). They are not compatible with Kindle devices.
It can be concluded that BookWalker books and Kindle are not compatible by default.
While BookWalker itself is locked down, with the userful tool -- Epubor BookWalker Mate, you still can convert Bookwalker to kindle format. In the following post, I will show you the three simple steps to get your Bookwalker books to Kindle device.

To convert BookWalker books, the first step is downloading them. Currently, BookWalker.com offers manga, light novels, webtoons, and audiobooks. This guide focuses specifically on transferring BookWalker manga to Kindle. First, let's look at how to download BookWalker manga to your computer.
Log in to your account on BookWalker.com and navigate to "Library" > "Purchased." Click on the book cover to open the web reader for the title you wish to download. In the top-right corner, click the three-dot menu and select "⤓ LCP-Protected epub" to export the book. Please note that this process will provide you with an .lcpl file rather than a standard EPUB file initially.

To convert BookWalker books to EPUB, you will need a professional tool like BookWalker Mate. This software can convert BookWalker files into DRM-free EPUBs while maintaining 100% of the original quality.
First, you need to locate your account's passphrase. Typically, your entire account shares the same passphrase, which can be found on the BookWalker website. Navigate to "More" > "Settings" and look for your user ID (e.g., "USR_0CXXXXXQT8G").
Launch BookWalker Mate and click the user icon (with the key) to open the passphrase input box. Enter your passphrase and click "OK" to save it.
Next, simply drag and drop your .lcpl files into the main interface of BookWalker Mate and click "Start Conversion." Within a few seconds, your BookWalker manga will be converted into DRM-free EPUB files.

You can also sideload your BookWalker books directly to your Kindle device. To do this, you must first convert your DRM-free BookWalker EPUB files into a Kindle-compatible format, such as AZW3.

Launch Epubor Ultimate and drag your BookWalker EPUB files into the main interface. Select "Convert to AZW3" from the format options and click the button to start the conversion process.
