E-books

E-books are electronic formatted text that can be read on devices such as e-readers, tablets, smartphones, and computers. Currently the Church is developing ePub-formatted e-books that can be found at EPUB Manuals on LDS.org.

Church-supported e-book formats

There are many formats for e-books available. The Church is currently supporting three specific formats that cover a wide range of devices; specifically ePub, Mobi, and KF8.

Using Calibre to Transfer E-Books to Your Device

Calibre is an excellent free software tool to transfer e-books to your device.

For Kindle users, *do not use the ePub format, instead use either mobi or Kindle format. Otherwise the conversion from epub to a readable Kindle format will not perfectly render properly.

E-books are currently only available on LDS.org and LDSTech. We are in the process of creating and publishing more e-books in the three formats listed above.

Cost per download

There is an associated cost to readers to download e-books from some of these third party stores. Amazon and Barnes & Noble require a minimum of $0.99-$2.99 (depending on the file size) to distribute e-books in their respective stores. E-books in the iTunes iBookstore will be available for free. This is not because we favor one distributor over another, but what the minimum requirements for each store are.
