I’m on mobile safari and the ePub and mobi files open as text. This means I can’t export them to Apple Books or the iOS kindle app. Could you please trigger a download instead if possible ?

Thanks for the feedback. This is a known issue that another user flagged this morning. The team is pursuing a fix. The content-type on the file is incorrect :/.

In the meantime, you can open it in a browser and email it to yourself. Not ideal, but a workaround.

[EDIT]: s/pursing/pursuing

I was wondering about that. I knew the native Books app supported both formats. Thanks for the quick response.
Thanks for sharing but can we not publish this straight on the web? It would be nice if access is frictionless.
You can email the mobi version to your kindle app or the kindle device. You can get the email from your amazon account.

I downloaded it on my Mac, airdropped it to my iPad, and that was able to send it to Bluefire Reader.
