    But kindle still doesn’t support epub files outright? You can’t just sideload epub files, you have to use the email service.

      Yeah you have to send through email. I guess some people might want to do via usb, I find sending to email easier tbh.

        The email service also converts the file to a kindle format. You can send pdf or even text, but it does not mean that kindle supports it, it’s still a conversion.
