If you download this article as an EPUB from Push to Kindle and rename the filename to ‘test.epub’ and send it to your Kindle address, the title above would show as “test”.Īmazon recently announced that it would discontinue support for its MOBI format in the Personal Documents Service in favour of EPUB. Notice in the image above, the title appears correct because we name our files based on the article title.
Push to Kindle article with author set to ‘’, now shown as ‘Unknown’ Recently they appear to have broken this functionality and now extract the title from the filename, and set the author to “Unknown”. If you send EPUBs to your Kindle account via email, or use a third party application like our Push to Kindle service to send web articles, you will notice a difference in how your documents are displayed on your Kindle account.Īmazon previously extracted the title and author from the EPUB files it processed, and displayed those in the Kindle library view. So you should no longer be seeing ‘Unknown’ as the author for new documents sent to your Kindle account.Īmazon is currently having trouble correctly handling EPUB metadata sent through its Kindle Personal Documents Service. Update #1 (16 October 2022): Currently EPUB titles are still incorrectly handled by Amazon (taken from the filename rather than the EPUB metadata), but they have made a change to correctly extract the author name from EPUBs.
