For Kindle owners who’ve had to grapple with manually converting their ebook library to a more Amazon-friendly format with an app like Calibre, this will be a welcome change.īut another upcoming change is that Kindle will finally lose the ability to support MOBI, an older French file format that was Amazon’s proprietary ebook format for a while. But up until now, Kindle devices couldn’t read the ePub format. Amazon’s Kindle Store is a major ebook seller and ePub is the most widely-used ebook format. It’s a change that - at first glance - seems rather minor, but in truth solves a lingering problem in the ebook industry. The update is scheduled to occur in late 2022.

First spotted by Good E-Reader, Amazon updated its Kindle section with the news that the Send to Kindle function will convert ePub files to a format that can be opened on the e-reader. It only took about 15 years, but Amazon’s Kindle will finally support the ePub format.
