There is currently no workaround for this. Any existing books in your library may need to be removed from the device and redownloaded, or resent through Send to Kindle for covers to show.ĮPUB files sent through Send to Kindle will not have library covers on a Kindle device, though they will on the Android and iOS Kindle apps.

Some users also recommend this website to fix encoding on your file - Ĭalibre's tools can also be used for fixing general formatting issues in your book. This leads to strange and unexpected formatting on the output file.įixes for this include using the Modify EPUB plugin for Calibre to set the EPUB character encoding to UTF-8 before sending it to Send to Kindle. Most EPUB files use UTF-8 encoding, but unless this is explicitly defined in the EPUB file, the Send to Kindle service will assume it's in another format. This is generally caused by the file's character encoding. There've been many reports that EPUB files sent through Send to Kindle are poorly formatted. There isn't a confirmed date for MOBI support to end at the moment. The new Basic Kindle (2022) Amazon listing does say that EPUB is natively supported, but there has been no other notice of this, so this may be a mistake in the description.ĮPUB files are already being accepted through the Send to Kindle Service.Īmazon originally said that MOBI support would end in August 2022, but recent communications are saying later this year, so it appears Amazon have changed their timescales. Kindle devices do not support EPUB files. This change only affects the Send to Kindle service. The Send to Kindle service will convert EPUB files to to the AZW3 format before delivering them to your device. The advice below is taken from various posts on the sub, but feel free to ask questions or share advice.Īmazon have been notifying that from August, the Send to Kindle service will stop supporting MOBI files and will start to support EPUB files.
