Any chance to provide mobi format? The azw3 files do not work on my Kindle Paperwhite.
How are you sending the file to your Kindle? AZW3 should work if you're connected to your computer via USB and dragging over manually or sending over via Calibre, but I've seen it not work if you're trying to send it to the email addy associated with the kindle. For that, you are correct, MOBI is usually the preferred option.
A similar project for books in french (french books and books translated to french) : https://www.ebooksgratuits.com/ebooks.php

It should still work if you transfer it over USB, but if you're trying to do it all wirelessly, simply download the EPUB and convert it to MOBI, and you should be good to go.
BTW does Kindle let you load your own DRM-free ebook files instead of buying books on Amazon? I use a PocketBook (pocketbook-int.com) which emulates a mass storage device and lets me read everything. I once considered buying a Kindle but heard it won't let me load bare files this way. Is this true?
You can also associate a Kindle with an email address, and email files to that address. The file appears as part of your cloud collection.
For sideloading, the books need to be azw3 or mobi. For emailing the book needs to be mobi. In either case epub is not accepted.

You can sideload the files via USB, just copy the files over to its internal storage and it will appear on the home screen.

I must admire beautiful cover art selected for ebooks.
I'm really curious why a book ( https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/charles-w-chesnutt/the-con... ) originally published in the US would need to include this: "This ebook is only thought to be free of copyright restrictions in the United States. It may still be under copyright in other countries. If you’re not located in the United States, you must check your local laws to verify that the contents of this ebook are fre…
A few countries had copyright terms longer than the US. For example Mexico is life of author + 100 years while US is life + 70 years.
