USB ePUB sideloading on Kindle Paperwhite?

mcandre · 02-12-2023, 02:47 PM

Amazon stopped supporting MOBI format in WhisperSync last year. However, Calibre still defaults to MOBI format when USB sideloading to Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, such as 11th gen Kindle.

Does Paperwhite still not accept direct ePUB format via USB sideloading?

Kindles do not do EPUB. When you send Amazon an EPUB, the convert to the device targeted.
You can side load AZW3 (but not email)
