Kindle's Latest Update: Native EPUB Support
A Long-Awaited Feature Finally Arrives
Kindle devices have long been the go-to choice for e-book readers, but one glaring omission has been the lack of native support for the popular EPUB format. This has been a major inconvenience for users who prefer to purchase e-books from a variety of sources, as they have had to convert EPUB files to the Kindle's proprietary AZW3 format using third-party software. However, Amazon has finally listened to its customers and announced that Kindle devices will finally support the EPUB format starting in late 2022.
How to Sideload EPUB Files to Your Kindle
Sideloading EPUB files to your Kindle is a simple process.
- Make sure you are logged into the account associated with your Kindle.
- Select your files (max 200 MB) and either drag them to the "Send to Kindle" section of Amazon's website or email them to your Kindle's unique email address.
- Make sure you're logged into the same Amazon account as your Kindle.
Your EPUB files will be converted to AZW3 format and then sent wirelessly to your Kindle. You can then read them just like any other e-book.
Benefits of Native EPUB Support
The addition of native EPUB support to Kindle devices brings a number of benefits to users, including:
- Increased flexibility: You can now purchase e-books from any source and read them on your Kindle without having to convert them to AZW3 format.
- Improved compatibility: EPUB is the most popular e-book format in the world, so you'll have access to a wider range of e-books.
- Enhanced reading experience: EPUB files can contain a variety of features, such as tables, images, and footnotes, which provide a richer reading experience.
Conclusion
The addition of native EPUB support to Kindle devices is a major win for users. It provides increased flexibility, improved compatibility, and an enhanced reading experience. If you've been waiting to switch to Kindle because of the lack of EPUB support, now is the time to make the switch.
