I usually download ebooks from Anna's Archive and transfer it to my Kindle through the service. But 1/10 times it fails, with no apparent reason. The particular ebook in question is https://annas-archive.org/md5/e310a253a9d85992129cc2b8dd351556. What's the way out?

I've never had a problem sending books to my kindle via the email regardless of provenance but if you are having issues could you download and install calibre, load the book up in calibre then move it to your device?

Calibre is a fantastic and underrated tool.

I have heard about this calibre thing. Never tried because it's such a hassle to go physical with the cables and shit. Seems like there's no other way rn. Thanks

Calibre has a server component too, so you can access the files locally via a web address

Caliber lets you click a button to email something to your kindle.

*cable. Literally just a single cable and avoids figuring out the other problem.

With Calibre you can set it up to email your kindle email address as well and have it auto convert anything that isn’t kindle format to kindle format
