Send To Kindle from Microsoft Word is Discontinued (goodereader.com) 11
Microsoft is discontinuing its Send to Kindle integration in Word, ending a feature that allowed Microsoft 365 subscribers to send documents directly to their Kindle e-readers and preserve complex formatting through fixed layouts.
The company updated its documentation to announce that beginning February 9th, 2026, the Send to Kindle feature will no longer work across Web, Win32, and Mac platforms. Microsoft has not disclosed why it's killing the integration but recommends users switch to Amazon's official Send to Kindle app. The feature launched in 2023 and was particularly valued by Kindle Scribe owners who could annotate the transferred documents.

Calibre is good. Change file formats, manage libraries, move documents between devices, etc. ... it works.

Microsoft's changes to their office suite constantly annoys the fuck out of me.
But, I'm going to be a bit selfish and say that I really don't care about the three people that this particular change impacts.
WTF sends from Word to Kindle?

Same in W10. I hope it will still work in future Windows. I also have LibreOffice too.

Just ask ChatGPT how to work around this. Certainly it can microslop a solution.

This seems like a weird decision because it's very low effort. Generate a PDF with the functionality already included, then squirt it over to the Kindle app or whatever that looks like (I'm not buying any readers named after fire on principle, and I'm not buying any Amazon devices, also on principle.)

So anybody can still send documents.
