Can you change fonts or anything else in the book? Can you look up a word?

1. Change file extension from .epub to .png 2. Connect Kindle to computer 3. Open Kindle's documents directory from PC 4. Copy file from PC to Kindle's documents directory 5. Eject Kindle from PC 6. Look for book in the list on my Kindle, making sure that Kindle is set to show downloaded (sideloaded), and All Items. Did I miss something, or do something wrong? Shari |

Yea, I just tested it. Amazon converts it to a AZW3. On the plus side other than a lack of cover/metadata/page numbers it does an extremely good job even better than ePubs I've run through Kindlegen on my computer. Although maybe that was an older version.
It still won't let you email .AZW3 though. |

Amazon is converting to Mobi and sending it back to you. This is not the Kindle reading ePub. You made it sound like Kindle's can read ePub just with a filename change.

No, you do not get covers with sent documents.

It also looks like Amazon's using a newer version of kindlegen or something on their server. With kindlegen 2.9 on my PC Japanese word highlighting does not work correctly, it'll just highlight everything to the nearest period or comma. Sent over email it works correctly. This might be the best ePub3 to AZW3 converter available, cover page and metadata aside. |
