Importing your own EPUB
Bring your own EPUB into Lexxio from the desktop app, and it drops you straight into the reader.
Por ahora las guías se publican en inglés. El resto del sitio está disponible en español.
Overview
Importing lets you read a book you already own inside Lexxio, with the same translation and vocabulary tools as everything else in your library. It's available on the Mac and Windows apps, and it requires an active Lexxio plan.
File format
EPUB is the only format Lexxio can import. TXT, PDF, and MOBI files aren't supported. If your book is in one of those formats, you'll need to convert it to EPUB before importing.
How to import
- Open the Library screen.
- Click Import EPUB.
- Pick your file in the dialog that opens.
Lexxio parses the text and breaks it into sections, then takes you straight into the reader once it's done.
What happens to the file
Lexxio keeps a local copy of the original EPUB alongside your book, so it can be included in a backup of your library.
If you're not on a plan
Importing requires an active Lexxio plan. If you click Import EPUB without one, you'll see an upgrade screen instead of the file picker. See Lexxio's plans, credits, and what each one includes for what each plan includes.
Not on desktop
Import only exists in the Mac and Windows apps. On mobile, bring your books over by syncing from desktop instead. See Getting books onto your phone.
