Just for clarity Kindles still don’t support epubs but if you use their service they get automatically converted to a compatible format and then pushed to your device iirc.

You don’t even need to connect your Kindle to the internet. Just keep it in airplane mode permanently and save the battery.

Late to the thread, but it’s worth saying how convenient it can be to find a book online and just email it to the kindle, no cables or arcane software wrangling needed.

If you don’t mind having a generic cover and occasional janky formatting, it feels like a bit of wizardry every time I track down something I want to read and it’s there on my e-reader in a matter of minutes.

This also applies to checking out titles from the library, assuming they’re not wait-listed. Even after years of reading this way, it still tickles me whenever I can just pick a book and be reading it without getting out of my chair.

There’s no real way for them to check even if they did care, there’s tons of places to get epubs legitimately that would show up just the same as any legitimate methods

Calibre is your friend.

Omega_Jimes ,

I do this, I use Calibre to upload it, or occasionally I use my Amazon email to send it to my kindle.

Yeah, amazon literally doesn’t care. The only thing that ever goes wrong when you use Someone Else’s epubs is it sometimes loses the cover art if you’re connected to wifi. Nothing else ever happens

Youre good! I use calibre to load ebooks from other sources to my kindle
