PDF files, unlike ebook files, don’t allow font or text size adjustment. PDF-only files are not ideal for ebook reading, as many people now read on their mobile phones. PDF files are great for things like worksheets, coloring books, and graphic novels, and can be used for ebook files as well. If you do not upload a MOBI, BookFunnel will automatically create one from your Kindle EPUB or Generic EPUB.

LEGACY MOBIĪmazon has deprecated MOBIs, but many readers are on legacy Kindles that can’t open an EPUB file directly, and they can’t use Send to Kindle for some reason. To improve these conversions, BookFunnel can distribute a special Kindle EPUB file for Kindle readers. Sometimes the converted file looks very different, especially in the Kindle app on iPhones and iPads. When you send an ebook to Send to Kindle, Amazon converts it to their own format and then delivers it to your Kindle (or Kindle app). Store-specific EPUBs can be broken when opened in the wrong reading app. If you use Vellum to create your books, please export a Generic EPUB. Your generic EPUB will be distributed to any non-Kindle app, including Apple Books, Kobo, NOOK, and Play Books.
