Microsoft Discontinues Built-in 'Send to Kindle' Feature in Word Starting February 2026
January 8, 2026
=======================================================================================
Microsoft is set to end support for its integrated 'Send to Kindle' button in Word, effective February 9, 2026. This feature, introduced in 2023, allowed Microsoft 365 users to effortlessly send Word documents directly to Kindle devices such as the Scribe for reading and annotation purposes.
What’s Changing?
After February 9th, users will no longer be able to use the built-in 'Send to Kindle' button within Microsoft Word. While the functionality to send documents remains available, it will require using Amazon’s official 'Send to Kindle' tool through its website instead of the integrated feature.
Implications for Users
Existing workflows that depended on the in-app feature will need to adapt by visiting Amazon’s 'Send to Kindle' webpage to transfer documents to their devices. This change aims to streamline Kindle content management but may involve an extra step for users accustomed to the integrated experience.
