In a recent communication, Amazon has alerted Kindle users about significant changes set to take effect from next month. The notification pertains to the phasing out of support for sending MOBI (.mobi, .azw, .prc) files through the “Send to Kindle” feature, starting November 1, 2023. This change, as News18 pointed out, specifically impacts users attempting to send MOBI files via email and Kindle apps on iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac.

I thought they disabled sending mobi files last August? As in, August 2022? Did they postpone it?

Yeah I remember running into an issue when I tried updating my library last time. Not sure why this is making headlines now, because I haven’t been able to use mobi files in over a year.

Maybe different devices have different EOL dates?

I have never connected my kindle to the network. Always use calibre.

Huh what ? They prevent people read .mobi because the format is old ? What about plain text ? .txt ?
