This is a file system created by a company called Mobipocket, which Amazon purchased back in 2005.
The online retailer has generally used the aforementioned AZW format, its own version of MOBI. Of course, Amazon - being Amazon - ignored this. Since its launch in 2007, EPUB has been poised to become the ebook format file of choice, with The Book Industry Study Group (BISG) - a US trade group that aims to streamline publishing - declaring EPUB should be the sector’s standard. A recent update of its Send To Kindle documentation (spotted first by Good E-Reader) revealed that Amazon’s ereaders will support EPUB files by “late 2022.” Well, unless you bought it from Amazon of course.įor years now, the company has used its proprietary AZW format for ebooks - but now it’s opening up its doors. If you’ve downloaded an ebook in the past decade, it’s likely it was an EPUB file.
