It does work with epub now. They changed it not long ago (afaik)

Can confirm it works now (not sure when change happened; pretty sure I’ve been using since early 2022). I regularly use epub on kindle.

They did recently drop mobi (or at least threaten to - they send me an email saying they are going to drop mobi capability after I send one to my kindle).

Kindle supported file types: • .EPUB • .PDF • .RTF • .DOC, .DOCX • .HTML, .HTM • .JPG, .JPEG, .GIF, .PNG, .BMP

I email ePubs to my kindle, I’m told Amazon automatically converts them, I’ve had 0 issues.

But calibre can convert them anyway.

You can convert them to azw3 with calibre. It’s what I do.
