Amazon’s Kindles are some of the most popular e-readers on the market, but one of users’ biggest gripes is that they don’t support ePub files.

ePub is the most commonly used file format for e-books, www.solitaryisle.shop and is supported by Apple and devices, as well as dedicated e-readers such as Nook and Sony Reader.

However, Kindles have traditionally only supported e-books stored in Amazon’s propriety e-book file format, meaning owners are effectively locked into buying books directly from Amazon.

This has given rise to apps like Calibre, www.solitaryisle.shop which allows users to convert ePub e-books into Amazon-friendly files, so they can be read on Kindles.

But it seems that Amazon has finally bowed to pressure, announcing it will add support for ePub later this year.
