Download eBook (ePub) to Kindle

Amazon stopped supporting the .mobi file format as of August 2022. You will no longer be able to send the .mobi file format to a Kindle device or the Kindle app using the Send to Kindle service.

Amazon is now allowing users to send ePub files to Kindles using the Send-to-Kindle service. You will need to email the ePub files to your Kindle email address for now.

  • To transfer the ePub file to your Kindle you'll need to first download it onto your computer or other device using the same steps above (the file will be located in your Files app or download section).

  • Then attach the downloaded file to an email and send it to your Send-to-Kindle email address. (You can find your Kindle address in the Settings area of your Kindle, under "My Account". You'll still be able to read .mobi files that you've previously added to your Kindle).

  • Your eBook will sync with your Kindle in a few minutes.

  • First download the Kindle app from the app store and sign in with your Amazon account.
