(See attached picture for an example of the setting) You can also take an epub and change the file extension from .epub to .png and send that using the Send to Kindle app. Or, you can do what I do, and use kindlegen to create the mobi file. I used to use Calibre, but when Amazon started messing with the email to Kindle function (changing the author to be the email address of the sender), I started using kindlegen and Send to Kindle instead.

I didn’t create the mobi file. It’s from an author I support on Patreon. I’ll try the both option but I remember trying that years ago and it never changed anything. I only use Calibre I don’t know anything about Kindlegen.
