Exporting files to android device

[jayar]

Hi to all, newbie here. I have a couple of ebooks on my iMac that I want to export to an android phone. Is this posible at all? TIA

Hello and welcome.

-Which version of OS X/macOS?
-Are the books from the iBooks Store?
-If not, where did they come from and how were they added on your iMac?

Thanks for your response. OS X El Capitan, 10.11.6 The books are not from the iBook Store. They were downloaded from a free page in the internet. The Gutenberg Project. They were added by simple cut and paste.

No worries.

You could try the following:

-Use the Google Drive app on your iMac and Android phone and sync using a Google account

Hope that helps,

Thank you Cory. I already tried that. Actually the problem is not so much the exporting of the files as is the final result. In other words, while the files are transferred they are not readable. For some reason just the cover of the book shows as a photo file but none of the text pages. Is it weird? Am I missing something? I did the same with my iPhone with no problems whatsoever.

Hmmm...

Maybe Android can't read them natively like iOS can? I would look at an eBook reader app:

See if that helps,

Hi V, Tried that, done that. File transfer is not the problem. Android won't read those files.
