[Solved] Can't send selected pirated ebooks through the Send-To-Kindle service to my Kindle. Is it some kind of background piracy detection? - eviltoast

      I tried it before, but it didn’t work. Didn’t knew you had to convert into mobi. Sweet. Thanks

        You don’t have to convert to mobi anymore. The Kindle backend supports epub for a couple of months already. I’ve also read reports that Kindle’s can now convert ePub by themselves if you copy ePub files via cable but I haven’t verified that myself.

          It supports attempting to convert them to their own format, it doesn’t natively actually read the file as is so sometimes still easier and less opaquely buggy to locally convert, where you can easily check the output then riffle through the depths of amazons website to find out why a auto conversion failed.

      Kindle supports epub now, and if you try to send a mobi formated book through email to your kindle, then Amazon will send you an email telling you that that format has been depreciated.
