Step 3Install APKPure for App Management
APKPure is a third-party app store that allows you to install any app on Android devices.
Download APKPure APK for Android device here: apkpure_32051.apk
Save the APKPure APK to your desktop, then drag and drop it onto the emulator interface to initiate the installation.
After installing the APKPure APK, swipe up on the screen to locate the app icon. Tap it to start downloading any Android apps.

By the way, the installation of the APK app did not work as described either - I was then able to install it directly via the virtual Pixel 6 Pro.
I was already able to convert some magazines from Readly to PDFs, but it doesn't work for all magazines.
Conclusion: No money back necessary. :-)
Can't use the LDplayer is it's only Android9 and Kobo needs at least Android 10.
I went through this process and got to step 2 number 7 and it has me install a hypervisor driver. I click it and it says:
Android SDK is up to date.

Please describe your problem more clearly and send it to us via epubor.service@gmail.com so that we can help you figure this out.
I got to this step, but the drag and drop process would not work in Windows 11 Pro on pc. A little red circle with diagonal red line came up with the drag. Turning off Windows Defender did not change this and there were no popups from Windows about blocking the step. Any suggestions?
Save the APKPure APK to your desktop, then drag and drop it onto the emulator interface to initiate the installation.
All the instructions were clear and worked on my Windows laptop UNTIL opening the Emulator. After hitting the triangle (Step 2.7) nothing pops up, just the icon in the toolbar. The following system errors pop up when I try to open the "Android" from the icon:
libandroid-emu-metrics.dll was not found.
libglib2_windows_msvc_x86_64.dll was not found.
liblibprocobuf.dil was not found.
libandroid-emu-agents.dll was not found.
I have re-downloaded and re-installed all the previous steps but I keep getting the same problem.
Also, let us know which epubor software do you use? What's the android emulator device and system image you select?
I have done everything according to the directions. Andriod Studio is installed. I have created a virtual device of Pixel 6 Pro. Installed the APKPure APK and used it to install LIbby app. I can see my audio books in the Libby app. But when I open Epubor LibAudio Mate, I get the error:
Root access is not enabled on the emulator. Please create an Android emulator with the correct hardware profile, "Pixel 6 Pro." and reinstall the app.
I don't understand why. I have installed a Pixel 6 Pro virtual device. What is missing?
so I finally got the APk to load. Installed libby on the emulator, downloaded my book. Went into LibAudiomate, insterted registration. Restarted it just in case. refreshed, now I get
root access is not enabled on the emulator. please create an android emulator with correct hardware profile pixel 6 pro, and reinstall the app.
I'm in the Android Studio emulator and followed all the other steps. Now what? if I close that window, the ook does show up in libaudio mate. I drag it over but it wont convert. just says failed
Last time I successfully converted Readly issues to PDF was in August.2025. I just decided to check a few more magazines today but Readly Mate cannot find anything even though I downloaded multiple issues.
Latest Android Studio Android Studio Otter 2 Feature Drop | 2025.2.2 Patch 1
Build #AI-252.27397.103.2522.14617522
Windows 10.0.
I have tried different virtual Phone Setups, Pixel 6, 7 & 9 for example. Installed Readly App, logged in, however although I download an issue nothing can be found.
There's nowhere I can change the ReadlyMate setup for the proper download folder.
Anybody have the same problem and a solution?
Please delete your downloaded Readly magazines and sign out.
Please find this folder on your computer and delete the files in it.
C:\Users\epubo\AppData\Roaming\.EpuborReadly\Library
Please sign in and download your magazines again. If you fail again, please contact us via support@epubor.com to get further assistance.
Tryed from Google Playstore, but there is no APKpure.
Bonjour,
J'utilise LDPlayer9 et quand je veux aller télécharger Storytel par l'APK, j'ai droit à ce message d'erreur:
install_failed_missing_shared_library
Et du coup je ne peux pas installer l'application
and try to install it again.
and try to install it again.
If you fail again, please contact us via support@epubor.com
Are you already aware of this problem? Is there perhaps a new APK available?
I got as far as loading Hoopla and my book that is borrowed on Hoopla on the LD Player emulator. What are the next steps to get the Epubor Hoopla Converter to recognize the book in it so I can convert it.
Thank you!
