A free Windows program called Calibre is the best way of getting books

and Calibre will find it and you can move books between it and the PC.

I have an epub file of a short story on my PC that I am unable to open
(Windows doesn't know how to read it). Someone suggested I try Calibre,
so I downloaded that. But I'm unable to run it on my PC to convert the
epub file to PDF. Calibre seems to assume that I have an ebook device.
All I want is to create a PDF from the epub file, which I can then print
out. Then I can read the story in bed. I can't get it to do that, though.
Are you able to do that on your PC? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

This looks like it should work using Calib

If you do a Google search for the phrase "convert epub to pdf", you will
see a number of different programs listed, as well as several sites which
will do an online conversion, meaning that you upload the epub document
to them, and they then return a pdf document to you.

So you're saying that Calibre won't work in this situation?

If you do a Google search on "convert epub to pdf" you will find a
number of converters. I haven't tried them. Evidently Calibre
displays for reading but doesn't convert. Adobe Digital Editions, the
one I tried today, displays epub files for reading but doesn't
convert.

Calibre will convert epub to pdf, in fact it will convert most formats
to most other formats. It also is a very good reader among numerous
other things.

Thanks! I tried this a couple of years ago and couldn't get it to work,
but maybe some features have been added, or bugs have been fixed since then.

Sadly, I realized that the epub file that I wanted to convert was lost
when my hard disk crashed a couple of months ago. I might be able to find
it again if I can only remember the title.
