Send to Kindle from Microsoft Word now available

From email:

You can now send documents directly to Kindle from Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365 subscription required). Easily send documents directly from your Microsoft Word app on your desktop to read on your Kindle. Kindle Scribe users can add text notes, switch between portrait and landscape view mode, crop margins to increase font size, and select text to make structured highlights.

I can confirm it's now there in Word for Mac.

This is more of a mutual marketing campaign than a feature anyone was demanding: Amazon hopes to sell more Kindles, Microsoft hopes to sell more subscriptions.

The same functionality is (has been) available 1) without Microsoft 365 version of Word or 2) from any app that can produce Word format (LibreOffice, Apple Pages etc), or anything that can produce a PDF document from a Word document. You just have to use a different Send to Kindle client (Web or the Windows or Mac app).

Send to Kindle in Word for Web is 'coming soon'.

Word for iOS does not have any explicit integration, but if the Kindle app is installed, you can Send To or Print to Kindle app, depending on whether you want a reflow-able or a fixed layout document.

The only missing part here (not specific to Word use cases, and common to finishing PDF markup feature) is an update so that Kindles and Kindle apps also get Print Replica and be able to view and add highlighting and text notes to documents in this format and have that sync. Hopefully Pen annotations will be shown, too.
