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.
