Semi-related: I wrote a fb messenger bot [1] which can send any ebooks (including epub) to your kindle.

It's handy if you've only got access to an epub, and a bit less clunky than sending via email.

Just so you're aware, I added it and Messenger automatically sent the "Get Started" text, and the typing animation ran for about 30 seconds until it stopped with nothing happening.

Huh that's weird. I'm looking at the logs, and this is the first time that's ever happened. It will usually just spit out the following introductory text:

  Hi there! Send me your ebooks and I'll send them to your Kindle.
  To get started, I'll need you to first tell me your Kindle's email address.
  This can be found on your Kindle management page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fiona/manage?ie=UTF8#pdocSettings

  (ending with @kindle.com)

Will look into this, thanks!

I'm not on messenger but that's pretty cool. Is it one at a time? What's the upload limit?

You can upload as many files as you want in one go.

No limit on the number of ebooks you can send, but the max size for any one file is ~20MB
