Send To Kindle from Microsoft Word is Discontinued (goodereader.com)

(Friday January 09, 2026 @11:45AM (msmash) from the don't-send-to-kindle dept.)


Microsoft [1]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.

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.
