You can drag-drop books in Kindle Format as Kindle doesn't support EPUB natively. But notetaking require conversion to KFX, which is not a trivial format to convert to without sending it via Amazon Server.
(I actually don't know if side-loaded KFX actually support notetaking on the Scribe)
- iamtedd 4y agoCalibre can handle KFX conversion, though it requires a plugin and Kindle Previewer from Amazon (https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G202131170 https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G202131170). At least then it doesn't require uploading to Amazon's servers.
- innocenat 4y agoThat is what I meant by non trivial.
- mantas 4y agoKindle is switching to epub. For example send-to-kindle no longer takes mobi, only epub.
- lxgr 4y agoAs a source format for their delivery platform, yes. So far, I haven't seen any evidence that the readers or apps will be getting native ePub capabilities. Even then, ePubs sent to your own account still are treated as second-class books. Most importantly, they are not rendered in the "enhanced typesetting" engine, while Amazon-bought books (often likely from the same source ePub) do get that. It's really hard to interpret this as anything other than making it intentionally hard/annoying to import DRM-free purchases from third-party bookstores.
