  Using any file explorer application on your phone, you can simply copy epub files directly to the eReader mass storage.</p>

ThreadText: # Transfer epub from Android phone to Kobo reader
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-07-29)
  
  Is it possible to transfer an epub from an Android phone to a Kobo reader not using the Kobo app?
  
  For links, getpocket provides a way: I send the link to add@getpocket.com where I registered my email address and then I can synchronise under Articles on my Kobo reader via wifi.
  
  Another way could be to use a server app for Android I could share my epub with and I could get the file to my Kobo reader via wifi.
  
  Is either of these -- or some other method -- doable between an Android phone and a Kobo reader?

  Assuming the book(s) have no DRM, this is what I do:
  
  1. Connect your phone to your computer and move the epub onto your
     computer.
  2. Import the epub into Calibre.
  3. Connect your Kobo to your computer.
  4. Use Calibre to load the epub onto your Kobo.
  
  Done!
