Calibre: can't email to my Paperwhite

r042wal · 10-06-2022, 05:46 PM

I have Calibre set up to email a book from my library to my Kindle using my Kindle email address. The test email works and I get a 'verify' email from Amazon but shortly after, I get this email error message:

Dear Kindle Customer,

The following document, sent by you at 12:48 PM on Thu, Oct 06, 2022 PDT, could not be delivered to the address you specified:

Send to Kindle supports the following document formats:
Adobe PDF (.pdf)
Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx)
Rich Text Format (.rtf)
HTML (.htm, .html)
Text (.txt) documents
Archived documents (zip , x-zip) and compressed archived documents
MOBI (.azw, .mobi) (will not support the most up-to-date Kindle features for documents)
JPEG (.jpg), GIF (.gif), Bitmap (.bmp), and PNG (.png) images.

I used Calibre to convert to MOBI first as ePUB fails. What might I be doing wrong? I also tried converting to AZW,

Thanks for any assistance

You cannot send Mobi. You have to send ePub.

Thanks that worked. One more question, if I have multiple formats in Calibre, how do I just send the epub format? I had a failure earlier today and I noticed I had three formats of the same book and no option which format to email.

Thanks again

preferences:sharing by email (where you set things in the beginning)
That and Preferences: Behavior: ... output format. come into play when the email format is not available
