How to Send an ePub to a Kindle

Download the Send to Kindle App: www.amazon.com...
In the past, the only way to send an eBook to a Kindle was to send a mobi file through different methods. However, just recently, Amazon announced that you can now send ePub files - and soon, they will no longer accept mobi files.
So in this video I am going to cover the 3 methods in which you can send an ePub to a Kindle. I will also cover which methods I prefer and which you should stay away from and why.

Thank you! I did this with my Kindle Fire, and it worked perfectly. I had to go into my contents & devices page to approve my email address, but now I have have more books to read!

[@chevyc5659]

Big thanks to Kindlepreneur for their help in publishing my book "The Moriarty Bloodline: A Legacy of Deception" on Kindle. Their resources and guidance were crucial. I appreciated their step-by-step instructions and video tutorials on formatting and optimizing for the Kindle store. I also subscribed to their KZbin channel for more tips. Thanks again, Kindlepreneur!

[@farzadjahanfard]

If you are here and send epub to your kindle and send to kindle failed to send your file to your kindle, convert epub to Mobi and from Mobi to epub and send it again. It works. I don't know why, but it works. You are welcome.

THANK YOU A MILLLIIOOONNNNNNNN TIMES THIS WORKED!!!

[@riccardovanin2271]

For now i used the third method on my IPhone 11 and it doesn't change at all the book format and it works perfectly. I just select the EPUB file and directly open it on the app , after a minute (it takes some time) it will appear on the app in the document section or with your downloaded books. This is perfect since sometimes i buy e-books from others distributors , not just amazon , so i have everything in one app instead of having 2 apps for all my books.

I had to stop watching after two minutes because I paused and then did it. In my case, the ePub link was on Discord and I wanted to read the book on my iPad. So I used FireFox on my iPad to visit Amazon to discover my kindle email (which I didn’t even know existed until I saw this yt) and then I sent the email etc. No book in the Library! Sync, the man said. Oh! Sync. Still no book - and then, all of a sudden it appeared! Like Magic! Thank you so much for making the “impossible” EASY! Gotta go! My book is waiting!! 😂

[@varyajones4303]

One thing to keep in mind (used to be the case), is that you had to approve the email you're sending from, otherwise it doesn't deliver to the device. This is especially problematic when you have to have all of your ARC readers add your email address. If they're not tech savvy... Yeah. If the need to approve senders' email addresses is gone, woo hoo! Just something to keep in mind.

ok, but then you have to find where is your kindle (pocket, bag, kitchen, etc) , use a cable, go to your calibre app, etc... by email you just need to send the file to your kindle email (when you type it for the first time, you don't need to type it again)!!! That's all!!! Easy...

You can still send mobi files via emailing. Change the file extension from .mobi to .jpg on your PC. And just send it. It'll pop up on your Kindle as a book. Nothing else you need to do. Tested and done this a hundred times

[@tonysoprano3587]

Great👍👍👍 I have such a problem, that when sending e-books (epub, mobi, azw3) via mail, the send to kindle program, calibre via mail to kindle Paperwhite se, kindle automatically converts them to doc format for some reason. And these books are already displayed as documents, not books. In the iOS app also in doc. If I download from iPhone to epub, mobi when opening these files in the kindle application, they are also converted to doc. The only way when books are thrown off normally and displayed as books on a kindle device is when I convert in the calibre program on my computer and send it to the device itself, but in this case, for some reason, the device with the iOS application does not sync and the books in the application are not displayed at all. Why is this happening?

Oh, bummer. What program did you use to convert it to ePub? Also, when you originally added it to your program of formatting, hopefully you didn't do a copy and paste - this can sometimes bring in code and epub doesn't do well with that code. But other than that, I'm not sure.

Amazon-Kindle is becoming TOO MESSY!!!... Your suggestions are very good. However, shouldn't exist and don't work as expected. I truly started to HATE this Amazon-Kindle platform. I'm using Calibre and done all what was asked, I'm still getting rejections/error messages regardless I upload the files on epub, mobi, and even in their own format azw3. I made sure that all TOC was OK, no cover photos (for Kindle) included inside the files, reasonable size photos inside, no ISBN, etc. Still... more rejections. It wouldn't surprise me that with Atticus happens the same now. C'mon Amazon!!!... You should be much easier... Most publishers are going crazy and VERY upset (like me) on many, many forums, whereas most tutorials are down the drain!!!... This is too frustrating. I'll look for another publisher or forget about Amazon. I am truly SICK & TIRED of so many contradicting messages. Thanks Jeff Bezos for your greedy help...
