epub files from working like the books they are. Customers will be able to use Send to Kindle to upload EPUB books directly to their e-reader. They also cannot read CBR or CBZ files, which are common file types for electronic comic books. Amazon is going to be supporting the EPUB format later this year. But the major disadvantage of Amazon’s half-step remains: There’s still an annoying digital middleman keeping. For example, Kindles (the most popular eReader line) cannot natively read EPUB filesat least not yet. Now that the EPUB is readily available to Kindle readers, how can you add the EPUB to your specific Kindle device Because this is something you might need to do if you have received a free ebook from an author, or an advanced reader copy (ARC). There are advantages to KF8 files - they’re designed for the Kindle, and fully-support the e-reader’s specific ways of displaying footnotes, fonts, and typesetting. The Verge reports any ePub file you send to your Kindle using Amazon’s service is actually getting converted to a proprietary KF8 file, which isn’t exactly the same thing as the e-reader “supporting” ePub files in fact, it’s totally different. Send to Kindle - The move isn’t without caveats. It’s been a long time coming, but starting later this year you’ll be able to use Amazon’s Send to Kindle service to get your DRM-free ePubs on your Kindle, meaning the file format will be supported whether you’re using Amazon’s apps to transfer them, or emailing the file directly to your Kindle.
Amazon is finally supporting ePub files - the de facto open ebook standard - on Kindles, according to help documentation spotted by Good E-Reader.
