See this earlier post about How to Fix Formatting Issues with EPUBs Sent to Kindles. If you’re experiencing formatting problems when sending EPUB files to your Kindle devices and apps, it’s most likely an encoding issue. It’s important to note that Kindle devices and Kindle apps don’t and probably never will support EPUB ebooks directly this is all just an elaborate way for Amazon to convert EPUB files to a Kindle-supported format to then send to Kindle devices and apps (the funny thing is they’re dropping support for sending MOBI files but then they convert EPUBs to MOBI to send to the iOS app-that makes a lot of sense).Īdditionally, you can only send DRM-free EPUB ebooks that don’t have any copy protection, so you can’t send Adobe EPUBs, for example, or other EPUB ebooks that you purchased unless they are DRM-free or you remove the DRM restrictions first. Youll have many options when you convert e-book files from one format to another. Calibre contains all the tools you need to download e-books to your device, read e-books, and organize e-books into categories. You won’t be able to send the MOBI file format to the Kindles or the app in August of 2022, that’s right. Calibre is an open-source ePUB converter and e-book library management app. There’s also a note saying, “Later this year, Send to Kindle will be removing the ability to send. The retirement of the proprietary MOBI file format for eBooks and the transition to the EPUB format for use on Kindle devices and apps are some of the changes that have been announced by Amazon. To send an EPUB file from your Android or iOS device, just select the “Share” option and the Kindle app will show up with the option to send the file to your Kindle devices and account. You can open an EPUB file whether you’re using a Kobo, Barnes & Noble Nook, or even on your desktop using one of the many free programs, such as Calibre or Stanza Desktop.
