Pakistani Readers discussion

Hey Guys,
Can you please tell where I can download Urdu books in epub or mobi format for Kindle. I'm trying to find it but only gets in pdf format.
Thank you for the help.

I haven't found any yet, will be following this thread if anyone else knows.

BTW You can convert your pdf to whichever format you want using Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com/)

it takes a considerable amount of effort and still have issues in the converted copy.

It is a little hasle sometimes, specially with PDF, but not a deal breaker .. for me at least. I would be happy to do it for you if you like.

You should check the ‘No need to buy urdu books’ thread under the Urdu Adab heading. Maybe you can find something helpful there.

Hello, you don't need to get your desired format of a book you want. You just have to get your desired book in any format, & then you can change it's format to any other format you want.

you're right Maira conversion mess up the books structure thats why looking for original epub or mobi formats.

Guys, if you are using a good reader app then you don't get to feel any distortions. I recommend 'Moon Reader' which is easily available for free.

Also, it also depends on how good the book's PDF format is. If the PDF format is already distorted or not of a very good quality, then the converted one will not feel that good of course.

I don't have e-reading experience in Urdu books. But the books I read in e-format, I specifically try to grab the version with the better quality (better quality version has bigger file size), so the quality is most of the time so good, that no matter how you convert it, it doesn't matter at all.

Assalam alaikum brother. Ther's no need to use any application for this. Use "online-converter". Just wrie "pdf to epub" in google search & you'll find the link there.

In case you guys didn't know, The Internet Archive is an invaluable treasure trove of all the books and other media humanity has produced so far. You'll find almost anything on there, in almost every currently spoken language and even in a few dead languages.

Click on 'more' under the 'collections' section on the left side to see a list of all Urdu collections. A lot of them will be in PDF format, but Epub is also a common format there.


I found some Urdu language collections here such as:

This seems like a good collection of Urdu ebooks by Project Ibteda

There are over 10,000 collections in the Urdu language alone, which can be found here:
