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.

    This is an enormously overblown headline for such a small change.

      I erroneously thought mobi was more important than it apparently is. I haven’t had an e-reader in a long time and I remember using mobi files back then.
