EPUB to Kindle — Deliver with Better Formatting
Amazon's Send to Kindle now accepts EPUB files directly. That sounds like progress — until you see the result. Amazon's auto-conversion regularly mangles chapter breaks, strips metadata, flattens tables of contents, and introduces spacing issues. DropKind delivers your EPUB to Kindle wirelessly with formatting intact. No cables, no manual conversion, no guessing what your book will look like.

Your book appears in your Kindle library in under a minute. Chapters, table of contents, images, and fonts arrive the way the publisher intended.
Why Amazon's EPUB handling is imperfect
When you send an EPUB to your Kindle via Amazon's Send to Kindle, Amazon converts it internally. This conversion is a black box. It frequently strips the table of contents, collapses chapter breaks, removes embedded fonts, and introduces inconsistent spacing. Books with complex structure — nested chapters, footnotes, poetry — suffer the most. You get the text, but not the reading experience the author or publisher designed.
What DropKind does differently
DropKind delivers your EPUB to Kindle wirelessly through Amazon's infrastructure, but with care for the file itself. We preserve the original chapter structure, table of contents, images, and metadata. Your book arrives looking like it should. The delivery is fast — under a minute in most cases — and completely wireless. No USB cables, no email attachments, no desktop apps.
EPUB vs MOBI — MOBI is dead
For years, sending personal ebooks to Kindle meant converting to MOBI first. That era is over. Amazon stopped accepting MOBI files in late 2023. EPUB is now the standard format for personal ebooks on Kindle — and everywhere else. EPUB supports modern typography, embedded fonts, better image handling, and proper CSS styling. If you still have MOBI files in your library, convert them to EPUB with Calibre and send them through DropKind.
No conversion to a proprietary format
Some tools "convert" your EPUB to AZW3 or KFX before sending. That adds a processing step, another point of failure, and potential formatting loss. Amazon accepts EPUB natively now. DropKind takes advantage of that. Your file goes to your Kindle as an EPUB — the format it was created in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does DropKind convert my EPUB to another format?
No. Kindle accepts EPUB directly since 2022. DropKind delivers your EPUB as-is — no conversion to MOBI, AZW3, or any other format. This means fewer formatting issues and faster delivery.
What's the file size limit for EPUBs?
DropKind supports EPUB files up to 15 MB. That covers the vast majority of ebooks, including image-heavy ones.
Can I send DRM-protected EPUBs?
No. DRM-protected EPUBs from stores like Kobo, Google Play Books, or Adobe Digital Editions cannot be sent to Kindle. Only DRM-free EPUBs work. Most indie publishers, Humble Bundle, Project Gutenberg, and StoryBundle sell DRM-free files.
How fast is delivery?
Under a minute in most cases. Your Kindle needs to be connected to Wi-Fi to receive the file. Once delivered, the book appears in your Kindle library alongside your Amazon purchases.
Will my EPUB look better through DropKind than through Send to Kindle?
In most cases, yes. Amazon's Send to Kindle runs its own conversion that can break formatting. DropKind preserves the original file structure. The difference is most noticeable with books that have complex chapter hierarchies, detailed tables of contents, or embedded fonts.
What about EPUB 3 files?
EPUB 3 files work fine. Kindle's rendering of advanced EPUB 3 features like audio, video, or JavaScript is limited by the device itself, but standard EPUB 3 books with enhanced typography and layout render well.
