Send AZW3 or Epub now Amazon are deprecating Mobi?
Hi there,

I sent a document to my Send To Kindle email address today and received their email in replay saying they will shortly not be supporting the email submission of mobi files.

Given that, should I change Calibre to send .epub or .azw3 files going forwards?

Are there pro's and con's to sending in either format? (I recall there being issues with emailed document covers being shown on the Kindle ereader library screens?

You should send ePub as that's what Amazon is going to be using as the source to convert to KF8.

Thank you, do you know if that retains covers in the Oasis Library thumbnails?

To read up on sending ePub to Amazon to then convert to KF8 and send back to your Kindle, read the entire thread here.

When I try sending epubs to Amazon using Calibre's email function I always get an error email from Amazon. Latest:

Quote:
The following document, sent by you at 05:10 PM on Wed, Jul 13, 2022 GMT , could not be delivered to the address you specified:

* A Cut for a Cut - Carol Wyer.epub

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 .

Additionally, Send to Kindle emails now supports EPUB (.epub). Later this year, we’ll also be adding EPUB support to the free Kindle app for iOS and Android devices and the Send to Kindle desktop app for PC and Mac.

If the format of the document that failed is supported (listed above), please ensure the document is not password protected or encrypted, and try sending it again.
