Simply compose an email to your Kindle email address, have anything at all in the subject (it shouldn’t be blank), and then simply drag and drop the EPUB doc into the compose window: I use Gmail so I’m going to accomplish this task within my browser window. Now open up an email program on your computer. Mine is “ (Note: I have tweaked this to protect my device) so that’s what I’ll need to use to send the EPUB to my Paperwhite. Lots to explore, including “view device content”, but what we need for this process is the email address listed in the main area. My default device is a new 11th generation Kindle Paperwhite: You’ll end up looking at a summary of all the Kindle devices registered to your Amazon account. To do so, you’ll want to go to the Web site, log into your account, then click on Account & Lists (on the top right), then “ Content and Devices” from the pop-up window. Before we start, however, I’m going to grab a copy of The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie from Project Gutenberg, one of the thousands of free EPUBs that the site offers. To do that you need to know the unique email address of your Kindle, but don’t worry, every Kindle has one. The only tricky bit in this process is that you need to email the EPUB to your device. The good news is that however you slice that bread, you end up with the same result you can easily now read EPUB ebooks on any Kindle device (though the Kindle app for Mac and PC doesn’t seem to support them, at least in that instance you have alternatives: Apple Books on the Mac and Adobe Digital Editions on the PC – as I explain here: How to Read an EPUB Ebook on a Windows PC). Interestingly, however, it does convert them into MOBI, as you might suspect, so really what the company’s done is integrate an EPUB to MOBI converter into the ecosystem, not add EPUB support on the Kindles themselves, per se. Until 2022, when, to everyone’s surprise, the behemoth finally acknowledged that it would allow people to actually copy and read EPUB docs on their Kindle devices. While EPUB is the most common format for ebooks, Amazon’s always held out that its MOBI format is better and therefore hasn’t offered support for EPUB documents and ebooks in the Kindle universe.
