    Dear friends,
    I have all of the above and have tried others but I just cannot get my ebooks in them. My most favorite books are The Carpetbaggers, The Adventurers and Stiletto by Harold Robbins and also Pirates of her own by Kinley Macgregor and almost all James Hadley thrillers but no matter how I tried I can't have them on my phone,they are just not there . Please help. Thanks very much.

    If they are not for sale in those apps then you cant get them on the phone unless you find them in PDF somewhere.
    Did you try Barnes and Noble books or the Play Bookstore?

    Here are three James Hadley books in Kindle format at the Amazon store. What did you use to search when you said you can't find any?

    That was the first and only search I did.

    Your title says iBook, Kindle and Kobo and your first sentence was this:
    "I have all of the above and have tried others but I just cannot get my ebooks in them..."

    I gave you a link to Kindle versions, not paperback (but they were also listed). What format are you looking for???????

    Jeeeeez...When you open that link, the first title is only hardcover or paperback. The others include Kindle in the choices. There is also a tab to select Kindle versions. Here is a link to that, but be aware, the paperback version is also included in the selections. Don't pick that one.

    Link sent, Alkali. If it doesn't work, let me know & I will try to get the apk for you.

    You can try other e-readers on phone. Google Books, perhaps? Then you can download books directly from market.
