Sounds like a bug. It certainly used to work. Personally, though, I find converting my ePub books with Calibre to be a better method.

Calibre is 100% more convenient. My problem is Calibre doesn't really support ePUB3 standards at all. Fixed layouts, right-to-left text, vertical text etc. will end up with a broken document pretty much guaranteed. In either direction. I've found using kindlegen to make AZW3s from EPUBs and kindleunpack to make EPUBs from AZW3s is a lot more accurate to the source document. |

Actually, if you configure Calibre correctly, you can get it to convert ePub to KF8 when you go to send the ePub to the Kindle. Calibre is that easy to use. You don't have to rename the ePub and email it to Amazon. You can do everything locally. I think that's the best solution. Also, if you find something needs editing, then you can do so with Calibre. Can't do that as easily emailing the ePub.

Hi!
What it's crazy, Kindle can read ePub without conversion. If I compare ePub book without conversion and conversion of same book changed by calibre, book look better: respect marge, font size, head of title,... |

The Kindle cannot read ePub books "without conversion". Please stop saying that - it's just plain wrong. The book is being converted by Amazon's servers before it's added to your Cloud library.

But when you change ePub to png, it's write Amazon don't convert the file.

Don't take my word for it. If you don't believe me, copy the file from your Kindle and look at it for yourself. It's a book in KF8 format, not ePub.

You misunderstand me. Perhaps the extension is used as a filter on what files make it through to the server, but it's plainly not used by the "conversion engine" on Amazon's servers. That is correctly identifying an ePub book as ePub, and converting it to KF8, even though the extension is "png", so it's identifying it by the file contents, not the extension. It may well be that files with a ".mobi" extension bypass the conversion process, because they should be in Kindle format already, hence renaming another file type to ".mobi" will result in failure.
