2 Does Epubor Ultimate support mobile devices like Android or iOS?

A: Currently, Epubor Ultimate is a desktop-based solution compatible with Windows and macOS only. It does not run directly on iPad, iPhone, or Android devices.

3 What are the limitations of the free trial?

A: The trial version allows you to convert the full content but only outputs a 20% sample of each book in a text-only format. The full version removes these restrictions and preserves 100% of the original formatting.

4 Why is Epubor Ultimate the only tool that works for Kindle for Mac?

A: Amazon frequently updates its encryption on macOS to block third-party tools. Thanks to our 13 years of experience, we utilize a unique decryption kernel that doesn't rely on outdated methods, making us the only reliable choice for Mac users today.

5 Is it safe to use my Amazon account with Epubor?

A: 100% Yes. Unlike some new tools that may require built-in browser logins, Epubor Ultimate works locally. It only accesses the books already downloaded to your computer via official apps. We never ask for, store, or transmit your Amazon credentials to any server. Your account remains completely untouched and safe.

6 Can I use one license on both my Windows PC and Mac?

A: Our standard license is bound to one operating system (1 PC or 1 Mac) to ensure the highest level of technical support and updates. However, we do offer discounted bundles if you need to manage your library across different platforms. If you upgrade your computer, you can easily de-register the old machine and activate the new one. If you want to purchase family license, please contact us via epubor.service@gmail.com to get the biggest discount.

7 How to use the free trial?

To begin your free trial, just close the registration pop-up window when you open the program. You can then immediately start converting your eBooks to test the software's performance.

I am frankly very annoyed with epubor ultimate. I paid for the lifetime license and got an email containing a license key but no software to download. I contacted them about this several times and never got a reply ant can't even get a refund. What a waste of money.

Try downloading the trial version from the website and apply the license number in the program settings, License Manager, I believe. Just a thought.

I purchased a product from this company, and then discovered I could not get it to do what I wanted. I asked for a refund and the company offered to help me try and sort it out. However I have very little faith in my technical ability and preferred a refund. The refund was deposited back in my account without any objections. I found the attitude and help from Epubor to be excellent, and am very happy with my experience

I have to give your staff and software Ultimate a rave review.  It's well thought out, reasonably easy to use, and the online help documents are some of the most helpful I've seen.  There is alot of information on kindle conversions out there but most of it is difficult to understand, to follow, and to be successful.  For me your software seems to pull it all together with one tool to decrypt and convert to epubs. Not that it is totally easy dealing with Kindle roadblocks like KFXs, etc but your documentation saved the day.

I had over 30 books purchased from Kindle and have been frustrated that kindle makes it so hard to make an epub archive  that can be used on other readers like kobo; as if you don't really own the books you purchase from them. Your Ultimate allowed me to succeed and also allowed me to archive purchased kobo books and make epub archives practically without effort.

Congratulations and thank you!

I just bought Epubor Ultimate.

Downgraded Kindle Reader App for PC to 1.32
Deregistered and registered the app
Followed the instructions to remove and re-download the kindle titles
Tried to remove DRM on the newly downloaded file ... success with ONE book.

Failed for the rest.

Epubor Ultimate has turned out to be a steaming pile of waste of money.

Company will not give refund if you are dissatisfied. I purchased because I needed to use images in the book (which cannot be previewed in their trial), but image quality is SO poor I could not use them (cross stitch sewing patterns).  I am left with absolutely nothing. Wish I had read more reviews before I bought. Buyer beware, they blatantly disregard refund requests and steal your money for unusable product. I will be filing a complaint with my local authorities because they have effectively stolen my money.

What Chrissy said - as of June 2023 this software DOES NOT WORK. And you will not get a refund. Epubor simply needs to stop selling the app. It worked in the past but no longer does - so n now it is simply a scam to take your money.

As of November 2023, when you download Epubor Ultimate the current Mac OS (14.1.1) will not open it because it is from an unidentified developer.

My preference, thank you, is to wait until you've resolved the issue with Apple and have become a recognized developer.
