Learn About Sending Documents to Your Kindle Library
The Kindle Personal Documents Service is a free tool that allows you to send files to supported devices registered to your Amazon account. Send documents from an authorized email address or a Send to Kindle application if available.

Note: Beginning in late 2022, you'll no longer be able to send MOBI (.AZW, .MOBI) files to your library using Send to Kindle. This change won't affect any MOBI files already in your Kindle library. MOBI is an older file format and won't support the newest Kindle features for documents.

Kindle Personal Documents Service
Email documents to your Kindle Library using your Send to Kindle email address. Your authorized email address supports the following file types:

• MOBI (.AZW, .MOBI) (no longer supports the most up-to-date Kindle features)
• Microsoft Word (.DOC, .DOCX)
• HTML (.HTML, .HTM)
• RTF (.RTF)
• Text (.TXT)
• JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG)
• GIF (.GIF)
• PNG (.PNG)
• BMP (.BMP)
• PDF (.PDF)
• EPUB (.EPUB)

Send to Kindle Applications
To send documents directly to your Kindle Library, install a Send to Kindle app on your supported device.
Note: Beginning in late 2022, Send to Kindle applications will support EPUB (.EPUB) format.
Send to Kindle apps support following file types:

• Microsoft Word (.DOC, .DOCX)
• PDF (.PDF)
• Text (.TXT)
• Images (.JPG, .JPEG, .PNG, .BMP, .GIF)
• MOBI (.AZW, .MOBI) (no longer supports the most up-to-date Kindle features)
• RTF (.RTF)
• HTML (.HTML, .HTM)

Maybe this guy has a bad reputation, I'll be careful next time.

>> So, in fact, Amazon seems to have abandoned this war of not supporting ePub on its Kindle, and they will be able to read natively ePub.

Many libraries are supplying books in epub-format. Sadly, with DRM - which is understandle, since borrowed books need to expire before they can be lent again.

If Amazon were to convert protected files into Kindle-formats: Terrific.

If not, you are still restricted to converting public domain-files and those sold without DRM.

My issue is with "they will be able to read natively ePub" in your post and the similar statement from the article you linked originally (translated to English), "By the end of the year, therefore, Kindles will be able to support .EPUB files and treat them like all other formats supported by the reader." These statements both imply a change to Kindle devices to add EPUB support.

That is not what the post by Amazon says. It states that send-to-kindle using email now accepts EPUB and the send-to-kindle app will also do so later this year. Since sending EPUBS via email is already supported you can see how it works. Amazon converts the EPUB using their kindlegen program and delivers the personal document in a kindle format, usually KF8.

If EPUB files were being natively supported on kindle devices that would be a much major change. You would be also to sideload EPUBS via USB for reading. There is no indication that that is ever going to be allowed by Amazon.
