I have downloaded Amazon's Kindle Previewer to simulate the pages and I'm also using Apples iBooks which isn't having the following issues. I'm using the latest version of InDesign on Creative cloud and exporting a book using ePub to be published via Amazon Publishing Services. The update only applies to new ebooks.I can see that this topic has been discussed a few times, but finding multiple answers. If you already own ebooks in either format on your Kindle, you can still access them. Amazon acquired the company Mobipocket in 2005, and subsequently rebranded MOBI to AZW. For Kindle owners who’ve had to grapple with manually converting their ebook library to a more Amazon-friendly format with an app like Calibre, this will be a welcome change.īut another upcoming change is that Kindle will finally lose the ability to support MOBI, an older French file format that was Amazon’s proprietary ebook format for a while. But up until now, Kindle devices couldn’t read the ePub format. Amazon’s Kindle Store is a major ebook seller and ePub is the most widely-used ebook format. It’s a change that - at first glance - seems rather minor, but in truth solves a lingering problem in the ebook industry. The update is scheduled to occur in late 2022.

First spotted by Good E-Reader, Amazon updated its Kindle section with the news that the Send to Kindle function will convert ePub files to a format that can be opened on the e-reader. It only took about 15 years, but Amazon’s Kindle will finally support the ePub format.
