How do you "copy" the.pdf? How is your e-reader connected? Which version of Ubuntu are you running?

I right click on the .pdf, open the ebook storage and paste it. My e-reader is connected via usb/ usb type C. I am running ubuntu 18. Thank you so much for your time. I am new with this OS i just changed from Windows. I could do the same operation there without problems.

I think it might be that the e-reader(onyx boox)only supports files uploaded with windows OS? I really dont know but there has to be a solution for this. I really dont want to dual boot with windows because im in love with Ubuntu. Thanks again

Check the file name; most of *nix (including Ubuntu) decide what type of file it is by its contents, so it doesn't matter if the filename ends in .pdf - but for non-*nix programs/apps they can determine file-type by part of it's name (eg. ending in .pdf)

Edit (askubuntu.com/posts/1105904/edit ) your post with the results! Open a Terminal Window ( Ctrl-Alt-T ) and execute adfcommand. In theMounted Oncolumn, you should find the mountpoint of the e-reader. Explore it byfind e-reader_mountpoint -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -r fileandmount | grep e-reader_mountpoint
