Very interesting, I never heard of that method. Does it mean that if I have an EPub of some book and I just change its file extension to .txt or .png and then send it with Send to Kindle it will not only not be rejected but shown without the formatting issues of the recent Amazon conversion system ? (I tried again yesterday, sent the same book as Mobi and Epub : on arrival Mobi was perfect, ex-EPub as converted by Amazon had issues starting on page 1 - like weird characters instead of a plain apostrophe for instance.)
