What is "upload book via send to kindle website". Do I have to send my unsigned lended books to Amazon? (I do not want to do this becaus of security and do not believe that Kindle is then adding a valid signature to my books of unknown origin?).
(Or does Calibre have a hiden funktion to add a valid signature to all kinds of ebooks so that they can be displayed in the "Kindle signature edition"?).
I think the best will be to sell this hirrible devide with loss.  |
No, Kindles can't read epub natively. What the manual means is that you can send an epub via e-mail or Send-to-Kindle to Amazon, who will then convert it to a Kindle format and downloads it to your Kindle.
There is no way you'll be able to read a sideloaded (transferred via USB) epub on your non-jailbroken Kindle. You need to convert it to AZW3, MOBI or KFX.
If you want to read unconverted epubs and not upload them to Amazon servers for converting, buy a Kobo or a Pocketbook.
A signature or the lack of it has nothing to do with your issue. It's a question of the format your Kindle can or cannot read. Kindles can't read the epub format.
