“Send to Kindle”is a free service that allows users to send documents and e-books via an authorized email address to their Kindle Library to read them on their Kindle devices or Kindle apps, both desktop and mobile (iOS and Android). This decision marks a new step towards the EPUB format and a gradual move away from the proprietary MOBI format. Now Amazon has announced that, beginning late 2022, Kindle users will be able to directly send EPUB files to their Kindle library, without any prior conversion to MOBI or AZW, the proprietary formats still used by Amazon for their e-books. The decision was announced by Amazon as the first move “to simplify the e-book publication process” on its platform and it became effective as of June 28th, 2021. A year ago we brought you the news that Kindle would stop ingesting the MOBI format for liquid-layout ebooks, as well as the derived PRC and AZK formats, in the Kindle Direct Publishing program ( for publishers and self-publishers).
