As of August 2022, you will no longer be able to send the MOBI file format to Kindles or the Kindle app using the Send to Kindle service.

See this earlier post about How to Fix Formatting Issues with EPUBs Sent to Kindles.The MOBI format will no longer be available for download as of Augfor any past purchase of a multi-format eBook here on the Microsoft Press Store website.Īmazon has announced the retirement of its proprietary MOBI file format for eBooks, and a transition to the EPUB format for use on Kindle devices and apps.

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. There’s also a note saying, “Later this year, Send to Kindle will be removing the ability to send.

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.
