Kindle supports a wide variety of files types, including:Īmazon has dropped support for MOBI and AZW formats since they don't support new Kindle features such as custom fonts and the ability to change boldness. For this, simply add "Convert" in the subject line when emailing the file, and Amazon will handle the rest. The second is to convert the PDF to the Kindle format.
