Does Amazon care what you send through Send to Kindle?
My wife owns a nook and I own a Kindle. I've been staying with my parents the last 3 weeks.

Last night, my wife's nook stopped charging and she was in the middle of reading a book.

My Kindle Paperwhite was home. I told my wife to charge it, and used NoDRM to download and decrypt the book she was reading. I then threw the ePub into Send to Kindle and my wife was able to resume reading.

How much does Amazon care about you sending an ePub of a book they sell through Send to Kindle? I don't want to get my account banned over something like this.

I have sent many DeDRM'd ebooks to my Kindles using send to Kindle with no repercussions.

I have not seen any comments on the web about losing access because of sending books through Send to Kindle.

As best I can tell, Amazon doesn't care.

Yes, they prefer you send deDRMed, or no DRM and books not from Amazon. Which is why it doesn't accept Kindle formats, but everyone else's format.



So for epubs they don't care. Except they might prefer you to use the service rather than USB transfer.

[Tongue firmly in cheek!]

It might be stupid to remove DRM from a KU title (even if bought at full price without a sub or borrow), convert to ePub and use STK. Amazon might assume the author published the book elsewhere. Amazon has even blocked authors from KU (which is exclusive, even the author can give free copies!) when the Amazon bot has found those titles on pirate sites, as if the author would be so stupid!
So they are bit crazy. STK content is supposed to be private to you or else Amazon is breaking copyright if it's copyright material (also in EU, GDPR), so they'd be in bigger trouble than you if they started making an issue about STK content.

I've sent tons of PDFs using Send to Kindle to my Scribe. But this was the first time I sent books that Amazon sells.

How do I (or can I) get calibre to visually indicate to me that a title in my calibre library is now on my Kindle when I've used STK?

On occasion, I've forgotten that I used STK for a title, and then, at a later date transferred the same title when my Kindle was hooked up to my computer.

By default, you can't. You can create a tag or a custom column indicating that a title is on your Kindle.
