Correction: I did get a book once after it was announced that ePub should work, but I tried and it didn't. Certainly not since the announced 'support' for ePub for conversion files. So it's been a while since I had to choose a format. It was a free thing and I was kind of surprised that, when I clicked through to, yes, put me on your mailing list and send me the free book, it then linked me ton AMAZON rather than Book Funnel. Though I did actually pick something up via an ad on my tablet or phone a few days ago. I don't send much to my kindle that isn't from Amazon. Your explanation of how the files are created is helpful, but I'm not sure that's what Fogey is asking. Not that the device will read them natively, but that they can now be converted to kindle format - which has not been possible before. ) Amazon recently announced that there would begin to be support for ePub files. (Most of the folks who participate in this section of the forum are not creators.
