I usually download ebooks from Anna’s Archive and transfer it to my Kindle through the service. But 1/10 times it fails, with no apparent reason. The particular ebook in question is https://annas-archive.org/md5/e310a253a9d85992129cc2b8dd351556. What’s the way out?
That’s pretty funny, because I’ve been loading epubs on my Kindle for awhile now, both via cable if I’m at home, and over email if I am not. Amazon recommends epubs over mobi, in fact, and threw a fit when I emailed a mobi.
Amazon added epub support to Kindles a while back, and deprecated mobi. It still has some issues with epub formatting though, I’ve had to tweak some files using a Calibre plugin to make them render properly on the kindle.

AFAIK epub is not universally supported and def. not by any kindle.
best dl, run through calibre (convert to mobi/azw) and transfer this via usb to kindle.
best
The service does support and automatically converts it into the required format. The kindle itself doesn’t
Yeah, I like to keep the usb as the last resort because I have to open my bulky computer, connect my dangling micro usb cable and shit like that
The issue is solved now. You can see the other comment. It was some kind of EPUB internal format error
