Amazon Kindle is bringing a new update for its eBook reader, and it is with a spotted update about its ePub file support, and it will soon feature it for all users of the tablet. Users no longer need to manually convert ePub files to a format that the Kindle will be able to open, as the device can open and view it as is.
The feature is coming soon, but it already brings a promising development to the Kindle device.
Amazon Kindle: ePub Support for eBook Device Coming Soon
According to the Good eReader's report, the famous e-commerce company already brought out support for its Kindle tablets and devices to read ePub files and make them available for the company. The new ePub support will expand more of the Kindle's library from other authors and publishers, especially as some are only available via the standard file type.
Amazon is known to use a particular file type for its Kindle devices, and it is exclusive to them.
However, according to a recent announcement of the company, the Kindle sees a new beginning for the device, and it is through allowing a new file system. It will automatically convert files into a format that the Kindle will read, especially with the soon update.
Other formats in Kindle's systems include the .AZW, .MOBI, .DOC, .DOCX, .PDF, and the new .EPUB support it brings.
Kindle is Finally Allowing ePub Files to Open Directly
Amazon Kindle is not that exclusive anymore. It does not gatekeep its tablet for the Amazon file system for the eBook tablet only but opens its device for other file types. The upcoming update for the Kindle will bring this new support for the feature, and users will be able to open ePub files directly instead of the manual conversion done online.
Amazon Kindle and its Features
Some people say that opening a book and rifling through its pages is not an experience they would replace with a tablet that only has its touch and LED screen. However, it is an economical answer to the current state of the world's environment, as it does not produce more waste and requires more trees to cut down and turn into paper.
Before, users needed to manually convert ePub files and PDFs before importing them to their Kindle eBooks and accessing them via the tablet for their reading convenience. The process is one complex one as Amazon made it so that Kindle's particular file system is the one that seamlessly opens and functions on the tablet.
The Kindle is also seeing an end of an era for its 3G devices in favor of the later 4G and WiFi devices to download eBooks and other files for the tablet.
Now, Amazon's Kindle device is seeing a better integration for the public's use and preference in reading through the eBook. It is already a good feature for the device as it is something that users anticipate and hope for the eBook tablet to have, especially as some books are more accessible via ePub files.
